Lessons from Portland

These lessons are more than interesting, as the Netherlands and the rest of Northern Europe have a similar climate. What can we learn from this unprecedented heat event in Portland? How and with whom can local heat plans and crisis management be developed, organised, and improved? What are the conditions that made some people more vulnerable than others? And what does this mean for longer term urban climate adaptation? Many questions were answered, many insights were shared.
