ICUC12 – 12th International Conference on Urban Climate
Heritage as urban climate challenge:
Evidence, policy, design & agency
The International Association for Urban Climate (IAUC) and the American Meteorological Society (AMS) warmly invite you to the joint 12th International Conference on Urban Climate (ICUC12) to be held in Rotterdam, The Netherlands from 7 to 11 July 2025.
Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from around the globe will gather to explore the dynamic interplay between urban environments and climate challenges. This scientific conference offers a unique platform to share knowledge, innovative solutions, and foster collaborations aimed at addressing the pressing issues faced by cities worldwide, advancing the forefronts in the field of urban climate in its broadest definition.
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. We define heritage in the broadest sense; not only historical and/or listed buildings and sites, but the totally of the existing built environment we inherit as a society.
PLOS Climate ICUC12 call for papers
The editors of the Open Access journal PLOS Climate invite submissions from participants in the 12th International Conference on Urban Climate for an article series covering the full scope of the conference. We aim to bring together a diversity of contributions, including from different disciplinary and geographical perspectives, and to communicate these to a broad, action-oriented audience. Articles will be highlighted through blogs, social media and (where appropriate) press releases to maximise visibility. Further information
