Urban Heat Islands chat

29th and 30th of April 2026

Let's find solutions together

In your groups say a brief hello and where you are from and then try to answer the following questions together:

  1. Where in your city do you think the heat is the strongest, and why?
    (Think about materials like concrete, lack of trees, traffic, buildings, etc.) 
  2. What simple changes could we introduce in our local environment (school, neighbourhood, streets) to reduce heat and make it more comfortable?
    (For example: planting trees, using different materials, adding shade, water elements…) 
  3. If you could redesign one place in your city to make it cooler and more sustainable, what would you change and how would it help reduce the urban heat island effect?
