GTÜ's CLIMACARE panel will take place in the COP31 Blue Zone

Gebze Technical University’s EU-backed CLIMACARE project has had its proposed international panel accepted into the COP31 Blue Zone programme. The session will bring together academics, researchers and local government representatives from four countries to examine how extreme heat affects public health and social inequality, and how to build climate-resilient cities. Acceptance into the Blue Zone gives the project a formal platform at the UN climate summit alongside national delegations and institutional observers. Watch for the panel’s timing and speaker lineup at COP31, and whether its findings feed into the project’s policy recommendations.
