Final Be Ready Conference in Chișinău

Cities across Europe are facing increasing pressure from rising temperatures and the growing impact of Urban Heat Islands (UHI). On 22 April 2026, policymakers, climate experts, and urban resilience practitioners will gather in Chișinău, Republic of Moldova, for the Final Be Ready Conference, hosted by the City of Chișinău.

The conference will highlight the outcomes of the Be Ready project, an initiative focused on helping cities better understand and respond to extreme heat in urban environments. As climate change intensifies heat risks, the event will serve as an important platform for sharing knowledge, presenting practical tools, and discussing strategies that support climate adaptation in cities.

Participants will explore the project’s key findings and learn about innovative solutions and pilot actions developed to mitigate urban heat. The program will also feature real-life experiences from cities already implementing adaptation measures, offering valuable insights into effective urban planning and policy approaches.

Beyond presentations and discussions, the conference will provide opportunities for networking and collaboration among city officials, researchers, and practitioners working on urban resilience across Europe. By bringing together diverse expertise, the event aims to strengthen cooperation and accelerate the adoption of practical solutions to address rising urban temperatures.

The Final Be Ready Conference will take place in person in Chișinău and marks the concluding event of the Be Ready project.
