Cities even warmer within a decade - How can we adapt?

    Pers / media: Expert Comment

    Description

    In August, the IPCC reported that the world is getting warmer. In ten ywards from now, the global temperature will have risen permanently by 1.5 degrees. The fact that weather patterns will change as a result has significant consequenes for how we use water and the subsurface, also in cities. To prevent heat stress, for example. The temperature in the city can easily be five degrees higher than in non-built-up areas and things cool off less at night. Ultimately, that will have consequences for health. How can we adapt?
