ICUC12 
7-11 July 2025 | Utrecht, The Netherlands
Conference website

The 12th International Conference on Urban Climate (ICUC12), taking place in Rotterdam from July 7 to 11, will feature the participation of CMCC researchers as speakers and contributors to key discussions. Representing the Foundation’s expertise in urban resilience, climate modeling, and adaptation strategies, they will present recent findings on how cities can better respond to climate-related challenges.

As urban areas continue to grow and evolve, the protection, preservation and sustainable transformation of our cultural and architectural heritage becomes increasingly vital–especially in the context of climate change. This year’s theme, “Heritage as an Urban Climate Challenge,” invites participants to examine how climatic factors impact urban environments and how these sites, in turn, influence urban climate resilience.

Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from around the globe will gather to explore the dynamic interplay between urban environments and climate challenges. ICUC12 offers a unique platform to share knowledge, innovative solutions, and foster collaborations aimed at addressing the pressing issues faced by cities worldwide, advancing the forefront in the field of urban climate in its broadest definition.
