📍 Join us for an in-depth, hands-on workshop led by Prof. Dr Rob Wilby (Loughborough University, UK) and Prof. Dr Gordana Kranjac Berisavljevic (University for Development Studies, Ghana) on how to better understand and adapt to the growing risks of extreme heat.
This workshop will provide a primer on the drivers and increasing threats of extreme heatwaves, from global trends to local urban impacts. Featuring a case study from Ghana, will explore how mixed methods approaches can help evaluate health
risks and the effectiveness of household-scale adaptations.
Through open discussions and hands-on exercises, participants will gain:
Practical experience with heat vulnerability assessments
Use of early-stage overheating risk tools for buildings
Insights into the role of AI in adaptation decision-making
We’ll conclude with a facilitated group discussion on the strengths and limitations of the tools presented.
Don’t miss this opportunity to build your expertise on one of the most pressing climate challenges of our time!
