Join the discussion – How can we cool our cities?


Energy Cities is coordinating a new Community of Practice to discuss one important urban challenge: keeping our cities cool. With the climate crisis intensifying, demand for cooling solutions is on the rise, and urban areas need to act now to create livable environments for everyone while phase-out the use of fossil fuel energy. 

This initiative offers city staff a platform to discuss, exchange ideas, and collaborate on effective cooling strategies, especially for the built environment. It’s an opportunity to share your experiences, learn from others, and become part of a growing network of cities working to cool their built environment. 

The sessions are designed to be interactive and practical. Held online and in English, they are tailored for city staff who are eager to explore innovative solutions and exchange best practices. 

Don’t miss out the next session!  

We will discuss the challenges to protect our cities from heatwaves. This session will explore nature-based solutions and the social inequalities to access cool air.  

We are thrilled to welcome:  

  • Catherine Laurason – City of Marseille (FR) 
  • Simon de Muynck – City of Forest (BE)  
  • Eva Lopes – The EU Covenant of Mayors office

Date: 24th of June  

Time: 10:00 CET (Brussels)
