Be Ready highlighted at the event “Cities and Settlements of the Future”

At the presentation of the project Adapting Settlements to Climate Change in Center Rog (Ljubljana), the Urban Planning Institute of the Republic of Slovenia (UIRS) presented to around 200 participants how the international Be Ready project can complement national recommendations for the development of climate‑resilient settlements.

Be Ready introduces blue, green and white acupuncture solutions – small, quickly implementable and effective interventions that cool micro‑urban areas and improve microclimatic conditions. Examples from Slovenia and abroad clearly show that even minor spatial interventions can significantly enhance quality of life and increase awareness among decision‑makers and the public about the need for climate adaptation and climate‑mitigation measures.

In the project Adapting Settlements to Climate Change, UIRS works alongside the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Architecture, the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering, the Association of Municipalities of Slovenia, and external experts in climatology, sociology and horticulture. Together, they form an interdisciplinary approach supporting the future development of Slovenian settlements.
