As climate change and urbanisation drive rising temperatures, extreme heat is becoming more frequent, intense, and prolonged. But heat is more than just temperature - it's shaped by humidity, air and water flows, vegetation, and urban design.
Join our FREE interdisciplinary webinar to explore innovative, nature-based and community-led strategies for tackling heat. Our expert panel will share insights from research, policy, and practice, covering city-wide approaches, small-scale interventions, and collaborative stewardship models.
Discover how holistic design can help us adapt, mitigate, and build thriving, heat-resilient places.
