Overview

This insight session is organized as part of Connective Cities learning process on pathways for carbon reduction in buildings and improvement of outdoor thermal comfort.

The learning process provides the participating municipalities the opportunity to address urbanisation-induced warming through an integrated approach that focuses on: climate mitigation through carbon reduction in building stock, improving outdoor thermal comfort by optimising the urban form (climate adaptation), and the overarching practices governing municipal action for the reduction of carbon emissions in building stock and improving outdoor thermal comfort. This interaction will take place using a variety of tools and the discussions will be recorded for future reference.

 

As part of the learning process activities and modules, good practices will be showcased on the reduction of carbon emissions in building stock and improving outdoor thermal comfort as well as examples of faltering implementation in these key spheres of action. Participating municipalities will engage in peer learning to devise solutions to achieve their desired goals of carbon reduction in their building stock and improving outdoor thermal comfort. These solutions include both hard and soft interventions. The formulated solutions can also induce organisational changes to improve procedures, methods, and data availability.
