Urban Adaptation to Extreme Heat Events

The event will be: “Live” in presence (if allowed by the covid rules, otherwise it will be online)

Short presentation of the event: Presentation of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie funded project U-ADAPT! Urban Adaptation to Extreme Heat Events. The scientific aim of U-ADAPT! is to advance and test a theoretical integrated framework to examine the actual implementation of adaptation strategies to the risk of EHE in urban areas of the European Union (EU), in the context of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA). The ultimate societal goal is to develop a model to assist cities in their responsibility to provide a safe and sustainable environment. The output of this research will also empower citizens to audit the commitment of their cities to EHE risk reduction and evaluate measures to reduce short- and long-term negative impacts of heat.

In addition, Dr. Yago Martín, as recent recipient of a Fulbright fellowship, will present several fellowship programs for students to pursue academic training abroad.
