Due to the continuous release of greenhouse gas (GHG) into the atmosphere, the climate on Earth is ever-changing with the increase in the average temperature and the appearance of extreme events. Climate change has caused a series of disasters such as extreme heat, flooding, wildfire, and drought and significantly threatened the safety and health of human beings and the prosperity and sustainable development of society. The peak of the climate emergency with a threshold of 1.5 °C or 2.0 °C, beyond which climate-related social, economic, and environmental impacts will become irreversible, is approaching. Urgent actions relevant to mitigation and adaptation solutions should be taken to decelerate climate change and to protect people from climate-induced threats. This webinar invites three scholars to share their latest research outcomes in climate-related impact mitigation and adaptation, built environment decarbonization, and sustainable urban planning and design. This webinar also calls for the involvement and participation of all professions in society to accelerate the progress of climate change mitigation and adaptation through closing a series of gaps towards actual implementation.
