Calling All Stakeholders to Address Urban Surface Warming in Nigeria
Researchers from the Faculty of Geoinformation Science and Earth Observation (ITC) at the University of Twente, The Netherlands, are extending an invitation for collaborative efforts to tackle the pressing issue of rising urban surface temperatures in Nigeria. This environmental challenge is compromising ecosystem services and the livability of urban areas and is predicted to worsen in the coming years.
Join a Workshop Series on Green Infrastructure Strategies
The team is organizing workshops aimed at unifying urban stakeholders from various backgrounds, including both experts in science and those in non-scientific fields. The goal is to devise a green infrastructure plan tailored to mitigate surface warming specific to Nigeria’s urban environments. Recognizing the valuable perspectives and experiences of different stakeholders, the team is eager to collaborate on crafting tools and resources to assist environmental managers in combating the emergence and spread of urban heat islands within the country.
A Detailed Project Overview and Registration for Collaboration
For those interested in contributing to this vital cause, collaboration opportunities range from simply staying informed on research progress to active workshop participation. To express your interest and choose your level of involvement, please visit: Workshop Registration.
The researchers encourage you to share this call with others in your network who are based in Nigeria and might be interested in joining this significant endeavor.
Anticipating a Joint Effort for Cooler, More Livable Cities
The team looks forward to a positive response and to fostering partnerships that will lead to more sustainable and comfortable urban living spaces.
