Event description

Extreme heat events in Australia and globally are expected to become more frequent, intense and longer in the coming decades. With this shift, the phenomenon of urban heat islands (UHI), where city areas experience significantly higher temperatures than their rural surroundings, is becoming more noticeable. The best solution to mitigate this is to increase tree canopy. Unfortunately, there are many areas within the built environment that are unable to house trees.

In this talk, researchers form the UTS Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology will discuss potential solutions to this problem, and how plants and green walls in urban spaces can help mitigate urban heat.

More details coming soon.

This event is part of UTS Global Goals Month 2025, and is presented by UTS Sustainability and UTS BUILD. Explore more of the Global Goals Month program here.
