Empowering Students for Climate-Responsive Urban Planning

ENVI-met supports young students to become future leaders in climate-responsive urban planning. It provides them with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to create sustainable, resilient, and livable cities in the face of climate change.

There is no doubt that climate change will have negative impacts on the urban habitat. As an urban planner, architect, or landscape architect, you will have the opportunity to contribute to climate adaptation for the benefit of tomorrow’s life.

ENVI-met will assist you every step of the way. You will be able to explore and measure the climate impact of various urban design strategies and nature-based solutions to address climate challenges and enhance urban resilience. The ENVI-met student license provides support for developing professional and climate-friendly projects.
