How can research support urban leaders adapting their cities to the consequences of climate change?

We know we must adapt to the consequences of climate change. We also have an idea in which sectors and how this can happen. Nevertheless, we are not making enough progress so far, despite a large number of publications and research outputs available. How do we bridge the gap between science and action? Where would city leaders like to see more support from research, policy and international advocacy? What are the most promising leverage points to solve the urban climate crisis?

I’ve been asked to design the logo for the student of the Bonn UNU-EHS website.

I wanted it to be a clean and versatile logo, in order to be easy to fit it into any kind of layout, both for the web and for the paper.

I started with the colors, as the color of the UN is light blue, I wanted to keep this one. The second step was to find a strong characteristic of the city of Bonn and the university. So I found inspiration from the building of the UNU-EHS campus.

Here is the result!
