应对气候变化对城市的影响： 基于自然的解决方案和绿色基础设施
网络 研讨 会
BACKGROUND
This thematic cluster webinar is a part of International Urban and Regional Cooperation (IURC) Asia & Australasia, which aims to further urban and regional cooperation in the fields of sustainable urban development and innovation between EU and non-EU cities. Within the thematic network ?Ecological Transition & Green Deal,? this webinar will narrow in on two main topics related to current global issues.
The effects of climate change are becoming more pronounced around the world. From the unprecedented, deadly flooding in parts of Europe and China, leaving devastation in its wake, to the record heat waves that have caused massive, overwhelming wildfires in Europe, Canada and the U.S, to the unnatural melting of the ice sheets in Greenland and the North, causing the ocean levels to rise.
Considering such disasters, this webinar proposes to encourage in-depth discussion on nature-based solutions to address urban heat islands, and on water retention infrastructure to manage heavy rainfall and flooding risks.
