Climate-neutral and climate-resilient cities and universities in Europe

The challenges of climate change transcend borders, and so must the efforts to address them. The climate resilience of our cities goes beyond reactive adaptation to the consequences of climate change, such as heatwaves, flooding, or other catastrophic events, and requires us to proactively prepare for the future resilience of urban spaces, structures, and societies. Achieving climate neutrality in cities demands intervention and innovation in key areas, including buildings, mobility, and production. To drive the transformation necessary for cities to become climate-resilient and climate-neutral, we must explore new ways of integrating society and technology.

With this event, Leibniz University Hannover, in collaboration with its partners in the university alliance EULiST, the state capital Hannover, and the cities of the partner universities, seeks to explore how climate-resilient and climate-neutral cities and universities can be planned and designed — ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
