The world is getting hotter, meaning cities will get progressively hotter posing a health threat to those who live there. So how do we keep cool, while also saving the planet?
In this session, Associate Professor Radhika Khosla, Programme Leader in Zero Carbon Energy Use at Oxford’s ZERO Institute and Principal Investigator, Future of Cooling and Angélica Ospina, CEO of Consejo Colombiano de Construcción Sostenible (CCCS or Colombia Green Building Council) will discuss the challenges and solutions related to urban heat, why cities become vulnerable to extreme heat, and cooling demands in cities amidst global warming. They will also discuss the need to rethink architecture with sustainability, heat resilience and emissions impact reduction in mind.
