The Erasmus+ CliCCHE project (2022-24) developed a methodology to address climate adaptation and urban health issues in European technical university courses, incorporating contributions from different disciplinary knowledge and collaborating with citizens, stakeholders, and local administrations. The experimental ?eld was offered by urban regeneration projects, where students from four European universities participated in teaching and co-design activities aimed at enhancing their knowledge and awareness of climate change and its connections to urban health and well-being. By engaging with the needs of the territories and their inhabitants, CliCCHE also developed tools and guidelines for evaluating climate-proof urban regeneration proposals.�
