Federal University of Espirito Santo (UFES) is a new partner of Klimapolis Laboratory

The “Joint Laboratory on Urban Climate, Water and Air Pollution: Modeling, Planning, Monitoring, Social Learning” (Klimapolis Laboratory) is a long-term cooperation between German and Brazilian partners.

The Klimapolis Laboratory is developing a joint Brazilian German transdisciplinary research program that, through sustained dialogues with different stakeholders, environmental literacy, and social learning, will contribute to the development of environmentally resilient cities in Brazil. The Laboratory will have a special focus on the relation between climate, water, and air pollution and societal actors, and will co-design with city officials and other urban actors approaches towards the development of sustained cities and improved governance structures.

UFES performs different studies in Urban Air Quality (https://qualidadedoar.ufes.br/) and Climate change (https://impactoclima.ufes.br/), which will strongly contribute to the future Klimapolis activities.
