The International Conference on Countermeasures to Urban Heat Islands (IC2UHI), first held in 2006 in Tokyo, Japan, has since become a global platform for sharing knowledge and solutions to one of the most pressing urban environmental challenges of our time. Over the years, the conference has been hosted at various cities, including Berkeley (California), Venice (Italy), Singapore, Hyderabad (India), and Melbourne (Australia), gathering experts and stakeholders from diverse fields to explore innovative strategies for mitigating urban heat island (UHI) effects.

The event aims to explore a range of themes, including the following: urban vegetation, urban ventilation, smart and sustainable urban planning and cool material development and application.
