Community air quality monitoring to minimize the impacts of forest fires in Honduras

Aire Limpio Honduras is a youth-led initiative that strengthens adaptation to climate change through a community air quality monitoring network. With more than 50 low-cost monitors installed in the country, it generates open data on PM2.5 to identify risks associated with forest fires and burning, raise awareness among communities and strengthen their response capacity to protect health.

Installation of climate shelters as an adaptation measure to urban heat islands in Córdoba, Argentina

In Córdoba, Argentina, heat waves affect the wait time of public transportation users, especially older adults and people with disabilities. Shelters 360 is a pilot project promoted by young FAUD-UNC students that adapts a bus stop by incorporating a green roof, sunshades and vertical modules with vegetation, with the aim of reducing the heat island effect and improving the accessibility of the space.
