This international conference aims to bring researchers together who want to bridge empirical and theoretical gaps and upscale urban solutions for climate change mitigation.
Research on urban solutions for climate change mitigation suffer from two shortcomings. First, results are often difficult to compare as every city is different. Second, efforts are becoming increasingly interdisciplinary but still lack the complete skill set and data foundations to set consistent quantitative foundations of urban climate solutions at different scales. This conference aims to bring researchers together who want to bridge empirical and theoretical gaps and upscale urban solutions for climate change mitigation. It calls for contributions on several intertwined fronts, including infrastructures, behavior, technology, big data, well-being, governance and transition studies (interdisciplinary teams especially welcome). A special issue in Environmental Research Letters (iopscience.iop.org/journal/1748-9326) will accompany the conference.
The conference is organized by the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) Berlin, and co-sponsored by Future Earth, the Global Carbon Project, the University of Oxford, and CIRED.
