Keeping Schools Cool in a Warming World
The presentation examined how schools can prepare for increasing heat exposure while maintaining safe learning environments and continuity of operations. Heat resilience was approached as more than a question of installing cooling equipment, requiring a combination of assessment, prioritisation, physical interventions, operational adjustments and longer-term planning.

Harnessing AI to Drive Urban Heat Governance, Investment and Action to Reduce Heat Risk
The presentation examined extreme heat through three connected dimensions: preventing the creation of additional heat risk, reducing existing risk, and strengthening the capacity to absorb heat shocks when they occur. Addressing these dimensions together connects long-term urban planning and risk reduction with seasonal preparedness and operational response.
