As cities face rising temperatures, urban forests are emerging as a practical tool for climate adaptation. Urban forests for climate change adaptation: nature-based solutions to reduce urban heat islands, the second session in the EFI Biocities webinar series, explores how on 30 September (17:00–18:30 CET).
The session brings together global perspectives, practical case studies, and scientific expertise from three speakers: Eleni Myrivili (Global Chief Heat Officer, UNEP/Cool Coalition), Ana Sousa (Landscape Architect, Laboratório da Paisagem, Guimarães), and Fabio Salbitano (Professor, University of Sassari).
Organised in collaboration with the European Forum on Urban Forestry (EFUF) and moderated by Simone Borelli (EFI), the 90-minute session includes three presentations, a moderated panel, and live Q&A.
