Heatwaves present huge risks to human health, infrastructure and the economy. Cities often suffer the most from extreme heat because of the Urban Heat Island effect (UHI).

On the 18 November, Earthwatch Europe scientists will be joined by Kalifa University of Science and Technology and Loughborough University to share research findings and insights into the potential of nature-based solutions, in particular urban trees, to improve local microclimates and thermal comfort levels in both arid and temperate environments, using the UAE and UK as examples.
