The Problem

Urban Heat Island Effect

Cities can be up to 10°C warmer than their surroundings due to urban heat islands. This phenomenon intensifies local heatwaves, worsens air pollution, and poses severe health risks, especially for vulnerable groups like the elderly, children, and those with pre-existing conditions. It also strains infrastructure, increases energy demand, and disrupts ecosystems.

+4°C Projected Warming by 2100

5x More Heat Related Deaths by 2050

2x More Extreme Heat Days Than in 2000

The Solution

Greening is the best solution to combat the heat
