As 31 October marks World Cities Day, Arctik is taking a moment to reflect on the threats and breakthroughs in today\u2019s urban landscapes. Let\u2019s meet some of the architects of change who are creating a blueprint for the cities of tomorrow. Who are these city dwellers charting new trails? What drives them to turn bold ideas into visionary cityscapes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through our work with urban sustainable development policy experts, climate researchers, knowledge-sharing and youth networks, Arctik has seen the multifaced profiles of inspiring changemakers who are driving cities of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professors joining the <\/a>Bubble<\/a> community are making the grade! This public service initiative, launched by Bruxelles Environnement<\/a>, nudges teachers in Brussels, Belgium, to become environmental champions within their own school playground by using education as a vehicle for environmental progress. Who better than teachers can be catalysts for change, leave a mark and pass on an environmental conscience to the next generation of leaders?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Arctik took over social media<\/a>, school staff have displayed positive engagement with Bruxelles Environnement-powered content sponsoring tailored trainings, as well as additional teaching material bound to integrate environmental education into school curricula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bubble community has already drawn in over 1000 members!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The science of empowerment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Advanced data and cutting-edge climate models are becoming more important in city operations and plans for a sustainable future.  But so is breaking silos in research to achieve a unified vision of urban resilience to climate change. Under the European Commission\u2019s Horizon Europe<\/a> research and innovation funding programme, a host of multi-year, country and disciplinary projects are approaching this from different angles and stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MYRIAD-EU<\/strong><\/a> is a Horizon Europe-funded project where top scientists across Europe are coming together to create a unified framework for managing multi-hazard, multi-sector, systemic risks. Effectively communicating localised climate risks is no small feat. Thus, presenting nuanced research clearly ensures it doesn\u2019t get lost in translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project has launched a database for urban vulnerability research. The MYRIAD-EU VulneraCity<\/a><\/ins> Database is one output of project efforts to collect and assess thousands of unique drivers of urban vulnerability. Researchers and policymakers can use these resources to improve their risk management strategies and, ultimately, protect citizens. For MYRIAD-EU, we produced a video to explain the VulneraCity Database and inspire relevant stakeholder groups to consult and use it.<\/del><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
