🌍 It was great to address the #Urbanheat and #climatevulnerability challenges in cities such as Barcelona during the RMIT Europe and International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) workshop. Indeed, we need #transdisciplinary approaches to promote social and climate resilience in urban areas and prevent the exacerbation of existing inequalities.
Urban heat, as a consequence of climate change, is a critical challenge facing many cities across the world and requires a transdisciplinary research agenda to achieve more regenerative futures. RMIT Europe recently brought together a diverse community of researchers for a workshop in Barcelona to explore more equitable ways to address the impacts of urban heat such as drought, wildfires, air pollution and energy poverty. The workshop was undertaken in conjunction with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Vienna. Participants included Professor Philipp Heidkamp, Laura Armayones Carranza, Professor Elena Domene, Zoé Sandoval Ganoza and Sharon S. Baltazar who share their reflections on the participatory process in this highlight video.
