How quickly is the center of Prague warming up, and why? What adaptation projects is the city implementing? Why do we want as many trees as possible on the streets, and why is planting them so complicated? And how does Prague support residents in implementing their own adaptation measures? Experts will attempt to answer these and other questions from the audience at the final meeting of the Prague Climate Dialogue, which will focus on the problems of heat waves, overheating, and the urban heat island effect. The discussion will address specific measures in public spaces—from planting greenery and rainwater management to the transformation of streets, squares, and courtyards.
