#Aotearoa / #NewZealand - The case for #WildlifeCorridors, bridges & belts
Connected networks of vegetated or aquatic spaces that enable movement of species across fragmented urban landscapes.
Excerpt: "#ClimateChange – #VegetatedCorridors contribute to #UrbanCooling and #microclimate regulation, supporting #ClimateAdaptation benefits alongside #biodiversity outcomes.
#HumanWellbeing – Access to connected, #biodiverse #GreenSpaces is associated with improved psychological wellbeing and restorative experiences.
#Freshwater security – Riparian and #BlueGreenCorridors can improve #stormwater attenuation, #WaterQuality, and #flood #resilience while supporting aquatic and terrestrial connectivity."Read more:

Weiße oder reflektierende #Dächer könnten #Städte wie #London effektiv vor #Hitzewellen schützen, zeigt eine Studie der UCL. Diese "kühlen Dächer" reflektieren Wärme und senken die #Außentemperaturen um bis zu 2 Grad Celsius. Andere Maßnahmen wie #Stadtbegrünung oder #Solarkollektoren haben geringere #Kühleffekte. Weiße Dächer bieten zudem den Vorteil, dass sie sowohl das Gebäudeinnere als auch die Umgebung kühlen.
