How can we implement measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change in World Heritage Cities?

Challenge vision

Climate change affects all cities, however the World Heritage Cities have to deal with added issues due to the high building density, its tourist attraction and the need to preserve its cultural and historical value.

This means that the necessary measures for their adaptation and mitigation must be specific to these environments.

Toledo launches the challenge to analyse climate change adaptation and mitigation measures that can be implemented in World Heritage Cities, focusing on two specific issues:

• Refurbishment of historical buildings and infraestructures taking into account sustainability

The City Council requires the collaboration of all stakeholders, not only administration, associations and companies but also citizen participation providing imaginative and realistic solutions with high added value for the society.
