What we do
COOL NOONS is a cooperation project that aims to help Mediterranean cities to re-think their tourism and leisure offer in order to improve the comfort of visitors during the hottest hours of the day. Through the implementation of technological and nature-based solutions, co-designed with citizens, Cool Noons aims at improving the resilience and quality of life of Mediterranean cities affected by the consequences of climate change, especially heatwaves.
Component
Co-designing
Co-designing innovative solutions for Mediterranean cities.
Testing and monitoring
Testing and monitoring solutions for tourists and inhabitants.
Developing
Developing a framework for the successful adaptation of tested solutions in Mediterranean regions.
Paths
Itineraries designed for a more enjoyable and “cooler” visiting experience of Mediterranean cities
Impact and Utility of the Project
Five pilot cities will test Cool Noons paths and innovative solutions: Budva (Montenegro), Dubrovnik (Croatia), Imola (Italy), Lisbon (Portugal), Marseille (France). The solutions will be selected through co-design workshops involving local citizens, stakeholders, institutions and Municipalities. The solutions tested in Cool Noons will take inspiration from the ideas shared in the workshops and from solutions that have already proven their effectiveness in other cities. Cool Noons will serve as a model for future implementations in other regions of the Mediterranean, and beyond.
