Amsterdam Living Lab: Citizen Science on Indoor Heat

With rising global temperatures and prolonged droughts, Amsterdam is increasingly feeling the heat – literally. The city faces mounting summer challenges, from the urban heat island effect to overheating homes – a trend that is expected to exacerbate in the years to come. The I-CHANGE Project is turning to citizen science to decode these pressing problems and chart a path toward a cooler and more resilient life in the city.

In the short documentary film about the I-CHANGE Amsterdam Living Lab “Amsterdam Living Lab: Citizen Science on Indoor Heat”, two meteorologists take to the city’s streets and homes by bike, revealing how urban heat impacts everyday life. Speaking with stakeholders and residents of Amsterdam, the film underscores the power of collaboration between Amsterdam’s citizens and researchers to understand – and respond to – the effects of climate change at a local level.
