  1. #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."

  10. In August, Valeria Morales-Soto reported on creative cooling solutions for cities. One highlight: cooling green roofs in Rio de Janeiro! Now NPR digs into how green roofs made their way to the favelas, and the challenges faced. #UrbanCooling #Innovation

  11. 🌆🌿 A new study reveals that rural land surrounding cities could help reduce urban heat islands by nearly 30%! 🌡️ Researchers found that rural areas within a 6-9 mile radius can lower city temperatures by up to 32.9°F. This approach could complement existing strategies like increasing green spaces within cities. - washingtonpost.com/science/202

  12. 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.
