Re-Act Schools aims to develop climate-resilient, multifunctional, and health-promoting schoolyards by utilising Nature-based Solutions and novel design practices. The expected impact includes mitigation of the urban heat island effect, biodiversity enhancement, life quality improvement, and awareness among students and citizen. An innovative climate audit, design guidelines and action plans will be produced for public authorities and stakeholders to reduce the risk hazard across the Med region.
The escalating effects of climate change pose significant threats to cities, particularly heavy rainfall, flooding, rising extreme temperatures, and urban heat island effects, impacting the urban environment, life quality, and health in the Mediterranean. The RE-ACT Schools project addresses these challenges by focusing on climate change adaptation and risk prevention in school outdoor spaces.
