IAWE International Colloquium on Wind Engineering & Climate Change
Under the patronage of Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities, Egypt.
In light of increasing climate extremes, the impact of wind on structures and infrastructure has become an escalating concern worldwide. In response to this emerging challenge, the International Association for Wind Engineering (IAWE) has established its first dedicated Working Group: “Equitable Response to Wind Climate Change: Impacts, Adaptations, and Mitigations.” This initiative is co-led by Professor Teng Wu (University at Buffalo, USA) and Professor Hassan Hemida (University of Birmingham, UK).
Under the auspices of the IAWE, and in collaboration with the National Research Center (NRC) in Egypt, the Working Group is organising its inaugural international colloquium. This event will bring together leading researchers, industry experts, and practitioners from around the world to address key challenges and opportunities in the field. This colloquium represents two significant milestones:
– It is the first IAWE event specifically dedicated to climate change and actionable responses
– It is the first IAWE event to be held on African soil
