One of our @HWU_TUI colleagues @DrCarolineBrown has been in Sweden this week, working with others on child-focused cities. One highlight from today were these mini speeches at Almadala youtu.be/7b-Si0dJ-OM

We've all been hot but our academics plus @UniOfYork are working with older people's groups and #climatechange actors to co-create solutions to mitigate against the impact of extreme weather on healthy ageing. The work will inform urban planning and more.
