“URBAN AGENDA FOR THE EU – Climate Adaptation Partnership”
Tuesday November 21st, 4 pm – 6pm
Salone di Rappresentanza, Palazzo Tursi
Organized by the Genoa Municipality
The Municipality of Genoa was appointed by the European Commission as coordinator of the European Urban Agenda Partnership on Climate Change Adaptation. During the next three years, the partnership will stimulate the discussion to gain, at EU level, a better regulation, more effective funding policies and an improved knowledge of the topic. 6 Local Authorities (the Province of Barcelona and the cities of Glasgow, Trondheim, Potenza, Loulé in the Algarve and Sfantu Gheorghe in Transylvania), 4 member countries (France, Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria) and 3 General Directorates from the EU Commission (REGIO, CLIMA, ENV) are involved.

“Breakthrough technologies in CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS”
3rd XERIC Workshop
Friday November 24th , 8.45 am – 1 pm
Salone del Bergamasco, Palazzo Tobia Pallavicino
Range limitation is one of the major drawbacks of electric vehicles. It is due to the limited storage capacity of electric batteries. The main challenge taken up by XERIC is to extend the range of electric vehicles by developing a novel climate control system. The new climate control system should minimise the use of energy and increase the range of electric vehicles without sacrificing passengers’ comfort. In extremely hot or cold weather, up to 50% of the capacity of the battery is absorbed by the climate control systems currently in use. So XERIC’s challenge is to extend the range of electric vehicles in all weather conditions.
