what they are
CLIMATE SHELTERS
Climate Shelters are safe spaces, both public and private, adapted to provide relief during extreme heat or cold waves. These shelters are equipped and strategically located to serve the community, especially those who are more vulnerable to the effects of extreme weather due to their socio-economic status, health status or age.

Climate Shelter Identification and Analysis
- We guide in the conception, implementation and management of climate shelters.

- We quantify the importance and suitability of certain shelters over others.
- Detailed analysis reports on current shelters and their justification.
Mapping and database development.
- We developed a complete geo-referenced mapping of all identified sites.
- We create a comprehensive database of climate refuges.
