Detailed Description
Adapting our cities to climate change: a blue-green vision
Cities around the world face the challenge of adapting to the impacts of climate change, including more frequent and intense rainfall events, droughts, and heatwaves. At the same time, increasing urbanisation, reduction of urban greenspace and ageing infrastructure amplifies risk and vulnerability. Blue-Green infrastructure (BGI), including green roofs, swales, rain gardens, urban wetlands, and reconnected floodplains, is recognised internationally as an approach for managing urban climate challenges and helping cities become more resilient. This talk will explore the multifunctional role of Blue-Green infrastructure in helping cities adapt to uncertain climate futures, enhancing urban environments and improving wellbeing.
School teachers are encouraged to bring A level students.
