The Climate Wunderkammer kick-off event and press conference will kick-start the global murmuring process, opening a new collection of narratives and solutions for sharing current experiences and launching climate change solutions for the future. The curators and the participants of the digital archive will intervene in a dialogue that focuses on the sensitivity and creativity of the designers to spread a positive message for the future of the planet. A project for a large collective archive will be launched, a first step towards an ambitious process of sharing climate challenges that unite us all, everywhere.

A one-day long hybrid conference is the main scientific venue of the Climate Wunderkammer. Invited academics, policymakers, and practitioners will share their knowledge and messages to tackle climate change. Afterward, students and practitioners worldwide will dialogue on how to collaborate to turn narratives of climate despair and destruction into narratives of hope through devising possible actions and solutions.

A series of monthly hybrid dialogues led by the involved universities, serving as a ‘wake-up call’ in which various participants (academics, practitioners, students, community representatives) share and reflect on narratives and practices of response, adaptation and transformation.

The purpose of this Round Table on Data-Driven Climate Action for Cities is to provide an enabling platform for climate activists, industry leaders, policy makers, civil society, researchers, and students to discuss the opportunities (and challenges) to use urban data for climate mitigation and adaptation in cities. In addition, it will provide these stakeholders the opportunity to discuss how to create the environment to enable cooperation between the public and private sector and wider civil society.

How to prioritize climate urgency in schools of architecture and planning? How to make students and teachers of urban and architectural design aware of the climate urgency and the enormous impact on the transformations of the built environment? The invited speakers, representatives of architecture and planning schools, will discuss effective strategies and tools to spread the values and principles of climate action and make it a priority in all activities related to the transformation of the environment and the territory.

Our built heritage is an essential part of our society's collective memory. It is a vital cultural resource often threatened due to its characteristics, such as spatial location and state of preservation. Additionally, built heritage exhibits a significant vulnerability under extreme weather conditions resulting from climate change, including floods and droughts. This roundtable focuses on a new manual, Integrated Risk Management, a local urban planning instrument to guide experts and communities to develop consistent integrative strategies to protect our built heritage from risk. The session brings together practitioners, local authorities, researchers, students from architectural heritage and risk management fields, and civil society to discuss the potential and challenges of the manual's guiding questions.

In this roundtable, the UIA SDG Commission intends to engage at least five architects each from our global five UIA regions presenting their projects and the connection/inspiration with the indicated SDGs of the new UIA SDG Guidebook. This intends to explore the selected projects of the UIA Guidebook for the 2030 Agenda.

The IDEA League universities (Chalmers, Delft, Aachen, Zürich, Milano) all work on sustainability plans, focused on their campus, research and education. This roundtable is meant to present these plans and to exchange them with each other and with other interested European universities and beyond.

Rising sea levels pose a significant threat to the world's coastlines, with potentially devastating consequences for human populations and natural ecosystems. This round table session will discuss this topic from viewpoints of landscape urbanism, climate science, coastal and geotechnical engineering, design science, and urban design and planning. The discussions will be illustrated by projects and solutions from various geographic areas, including South East Asia.
