Idea behind. It is important to show how to adapt to climate change worldwide because the effects have global consequences. Climate change is already causing extreme weather events such as floods and droughts, which can cause major economic losses, ecological disruption, and human suffering. By showing people how to adapt to the changing climate, it is possible to reduce the risks associated with climate change and improve the resilience of communities and ecosystems.

Analysis and vision. We answer these questions by cooperating with architects and scientists, showcasing analysis of existing urban districts in metropolitan areas all over the world, looking at the quality of life for its inhabitants and vegetation and also make suggestions on how the experience of living in these cities could be improved.

Stations. The ENVI-met World Tour visited Dubai, Lima, Parma and Lagos in 2022 and travelled around 29,870 kilometres. Within these World Tour stops, it was analysed how the urban structure of Dubai could be adapted for pedestrian comfort, how thermal comfort could be improved in Lima, Peru, and what strategies are useful for shading, greening and aeration in the courtyards of the Italian city of Parma, as well as the potential microclimate in part of the new coastal city of Eko Atlantic, a planned city in Lagos, Nigeria. In the coming months, the ENVI-met World Tour will visit cities in 5 countries on three continents. During these stops, architects and young scientists will demonstrate adaptation strategies that can make cities more resilient to extreme weather events.
