Applications are currently open for this fully funded project which addresses rising urban heat and climate risks. It uses sensors, AI, and climate modeling to predict health impacts and improve city planning. The goal is to develop energy-efficient upgrades and green infrastructure in areas most affected by extreme heat—especially for seniors and Indigenous communities. The research helps guide real-life projects like Net-Zero neighborhoods and supports fair, science-based climate policies.
