| Awareness and outreach to a wide range of stakeholders, including the public, is a key element in the reduction of UHI effects. |
|
| For instance, in an effort to reduce the UHI effect, many European and Japanese cities have enacted green roof policies. |
|
| The UHI aims to attain full university status and provide the region with a first-class research base, which should help it to attract and retain more students who would then be willing to stay and work in the region. |
|
| A Portland, Oregon, pilot project intended to retrofit the urban environment to reduce the UHI effect had the additional beneficial effect of enhancing social capital in the local community. |
|
| The UHI is a unique partnership of 15 colleges and research institutions. |
|
| The UHI also has strong links with the centre through its Faculty of Health. |
|
| Inverness College is the hub campus for the UHI Millennium Institute. |
