International Climate Adaptation Research Institute (iCARI) transformed from Slovak Association for Green Roof and Green Infrastructure.
We are pleased to announce that our member, the Slovak Association for Green Roof and Green Infrastructure has transformed into the international Climate Adaptation Research Institute (iCARI). This strategic evolution marks a significant step forward in our collective efforts to address Climate change and promote sustainable development.
iCARI focuses on several core areas, including green and blue infrastructure, urban water retention, energy efficiency in buildings, emission reduction in construction, and urban waste management. By integrating Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) and advanced data science methodologies, iCARI aims to enhance ecosystem services, mitigate urban heat islands, improve water management, and promote sustainable building practices. Their commitment to leveraging natural processes and cutting-edge data analytics ensures the development of effective Adaptation and mitigation strategies.
Operating locally in Slovakia, regionally within the EU Green Deal framework, and globally to seek feasible measures in the field of Climate change Adaptation, iCARI’s work encompasses research, advocacy, and collaboration. Their initiatives address local challenges while contributing to global solutions, enhancing Climate resilience, and supporting sustainable development.
As we look ahead, we anticipate even closer collaboration with iCARI in applied research and data-driven Adaptation measures. This partnership will further our shared goal of comprehensive Climate solutions that adapt to and mitigate Climate change’s impacts.
We welcome iCARI and are excited about this transformation’s opportunities for advancing Climate Adaptation research and practices.
iCARI will present its projects and announce the first members of its International Scientific Board at the World Green Infrastructure Congress 2024 in Auckland, New Zealand.
