Reacting to the growing risk for heat related health issues in Europe, Climate-ADAPT is extending its pool of practical examples for measures to prevent and manage extreme heat, induced by climate change in various built environments. Several case studies show that adaptation can be achieved through solutions that vary significantly according to different local circumstances. Those case studies illustrate Climate-ADAPT’s adaptation options for preventing and managing extreme heat such as Climate proofing of buildings known from scientific evidence (Climate proofing of buildings against excessive heat and cold, Urban green and blue infrastructure).
Case studies showcase exemplary solutions for:
Schools
- Nature-Based Solutions in schools: a green way to adapt buildings to climate change in Solana de los Barros, Extremadura (Spain) (2026)
- Paris Oasis Schoolyard Programme, France (2022)
Healthcare
- Decarbonising and adapting healthcare to heat in Flanders (Belgium) (2022)
- New North Zealand Hospital: A resilient acute care hospital for the future, Hillerød, Denmark (2025)
