Extreme weather causes by climate change ranked number one risk reported in The Global Risks Report 2024 by World Economic Forum. And the main contributors to the climate change in cities are transport, industry, commercial and residential buildings. City planners have to rewire the way urban planning is designed from the past and build a sustainable city that is resilience against climate change, reduce carbon emission, create a healthier, cleaner and safer city for the people to live. With over 70% of the greenhouse emissions come from cities area, the battle against climate change will be fought in the cities and we shall leave no one and no place behind. #sustainability #urban #cities #green #climate #buildings #transports #industry #technology https://lnkd.in/gWki5gDT

In case you need a reminder: infill housing + higher population density = lower carbon emissions & lower energy usage! 🏘️ People can walk, use transit & drive shorter distances. Denser infill housing development is an essential climate strategy! https://lnkd.in/gX6jtZRy

Walkable streets and vibrant cityscapes are crucial to urban development, but without carefully considered water management that development is irrelevant. The UN predicts 68% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, putting sustainable water supply among the world’s most pressing challenges. Climate change is impacting supply, spurring both droughts and flooding, and turning a spotlight on the effective solutions already under consideration.

As we witness rising temperatures and sprawling urban development, the need to counteract the urban heat island effect becomes more pressing. In urban areas, where concrete and asphalt abound, temperatures can soar, making summers especially unbearable and increasing our reliance on energy-consuming cooling systems. Integrating tree planting into our community planning is not just beneficial; it's essential. Trees are nature's own cooling systems, significantly lowering temperatures in their immediate environments—up to 6–10°F cooler in tree-lined streets than those without any greenery. This not only alleviates the heat discomfort for residents but also reduces the overall energy demand. Moreover, trees offer added benefits such as cooler parking lot temperatures, leading to lower emissions from parked vehicles. This simple act of planting trees can profoundly impact our fight against global warming, making urban areas more livable while directly contributing to environmental sustainability.Let us embrace the role of trees as frontline warriors in our ongoing battle against global warming and urban heat. Their importance cannot be overstated, and their impact is felt by every community, regardless of its size or location. #TreePlanting #UrbanHeatIslandEffect #CoolerCommunities #EnergyEfficiency #ShadedStreets #GreenCities #ClimateChangeSolutions

As temperatures soar during summer heat waves, the role of trees becomes more crucial than ever in cooling our #climate. Trees provide natural shade, reducing the urban heat island effect by cooling the air through evapotranspiration. Their presence lowers surface temperatures and enhances air quality by filtering pollutants. Beyond their immediate cooling effects, trees contribute to mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide, a key greenhouse gas. This summer, let's recognize the transformative impact of trees on our environment and communities. By planting and nurturing trees, we're making tangible strides towards a cooler, more sustainable future. 🌳 #ClimateAction #UrbanCooling #TreePlanting #Sustainability

The combination of urbanization and global warming leads to urban overheating and compounds the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events due to climate change. Yet, the risk of urban overheating can be mitigated by urban green-blue-grey infrastructure (GBGI), such as parks, wetlands, and engineered greening, which have the potential to effectively reduce summer air temperatures. The most efficient air cooling was observed in botanical gardens (5.0 ± 3.5C), wetlands (4.9 ± 3.2C), green walls (4.1 ± 4.2C), street trees (3.8 ± 3.1C), and vegetated balconies (3.8 ± 2.7C). Under changing climate conditions (2070–2100) with consideration of RCP8.5, there is a shift in climate subtypes, either within the same climate zone (e.g., Dfa to Dfb and Cfb to Cfa) or across other climate zones (e.g., Dfb [continental warm-summer humid] to BSk [dry, cold semi-arid] and Cwa [temperate] to Am [tropical]). These shifts may result in lower efficiency for the current GBGI in the future. Given the importance of multiple services, it is crucial to balance their functionality, cooling performance, and other related co-benefits when planning for the future GBGI.
