SUMMARY:CITIES UNDER HEAT: Urban Heatwaves in Europe and South Asia
DESCRIPTION:Kontakt: Catarina.Kinnvall@svet.lu.se\n\nHeatwaves are becoming
  more frequent and intense\, posing growing challenges for cities around t
 he world. Recent summers have seen record-breaking temperatures and severe
  heat impacts across Europe\, while many cities in South Asia continue to 
 face extreme and prolonged heat exposure. Urban areas are particularly vul
 nerable due to dense populations\, built environments and unequal access t
 o resources and cooling infrastructure.This public symposium brings togeth
 er experts working on urban climate adaptation\, governance and sustainabi
 lity. Through short presentations and a panel discussion\, the speakers wi
 ll share perspectives on how cities in Europe and South Asia can respond t
 o rising temperatures\, strengthen resilience and address the social and e
 nvironmental impacts of extreme heat. The symposium will also explore what
  lessons can be learned across regions as cities face a warming future.Reg
