Chișinău’s Pilot Action in Focus
Explore how Chişinău is tackling the impacts of urban heat through a targeted climate adaptation pilot under the Be Ready project.
In the heart of the city, a new climate shelter for kids has been built at a local kindergarten as part of Chişinău’s effort to reduce the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect and create more resilient public spaces for children. Designed with “white acupuncture” principles, the shelter features a reflective, UV-resistant roof and flexible space for both educational and recreational activities, making outdoor time safer and more comfortable for young learners even during hot conditions.
Watch the video to learn how this simple yet innovative intervention is helping improve thermal comfort and child well-being, and to discover why it’s seen as a promising model for other cities facing similar climate pressures.
