A good explanation of the Urban Heat Island effect with advice on how to plan suburbs with more vegetation, lighter colours and permeable surfaces. Plus good link to Climate Council's tool to predict the heat of your neighbourhood in the future.

🌡️Did you know that integrating green infrastructure into urban planning can significantly reduce the urban heat island effect? Our new blog post dives into the benefits of urban greening for climate adaptation and offers practical strategies for Australian councils. 🔍Explore more here: Cooling down under: Urban greening for climate resilience https://lnkd.in/gT3_26z7 #ClimateChange #UrbanGreening #HeatWave #CityPlanning #GreenInfrastructure

This insightful article from Earth Day explores how cities can become more resilient to climate change using six innovative strategies. From increasing green spaces and implementing innovative stormwater management to constructing energy-efficient buildings and resilient infrastructure, these methods will help ensure urban areas are climate change-ready: https://buff.ly/3WlUIAY #ClimateChange #Sustainability #UrbanPlanning #TeamRidge #ExpertWitness

Talking about #PublicTransportation could be a gateway to engaging people on the topic of #ClimateChange. Read this article to see how the two connect: https://bit.ly/3ytHnii #ClimateCommunication

I try to take as much public transportation as possible wherever I go, including my 40-mile commute to and from work. I am always interested by the amount of people who had never even considered public transportation as an option, especially in cities that have robust light rail and bus options. That being said, the infrastructure of public transportation rarely is a top priority for updates and renovations. As the planet continues to warm due to human-accelerated climate change, we need to think about how this will affect the millions of people who utilize public transportation every single day. With that, can we just start with getting covered areas at every bus stop so that people do not pass out from direct sun exposure and shelter from the rain?

Dive into urban climate resilience with the #LIFEProject #LATESTadapt 🌟🌍 The project is boosting urban climate resilience in #Estonia & #Latvia with 16 partners.  Key highlights:  🟢Plans for 8 #NatureBasedSolutions sites   🟢Compiled monitoring technologies   🟢Created a green infrastructure framework   🟢Held a workshop on urban green infrastructure   🟢Ran local seminars for community awareness Learn more: https://bit.ly/3zHQ7ls #LIFEProgramme

"Urban Planning as a Climate Solution", a valuable resource for everyone, from professionals to citizens. #UrbanPlanning #ClimateSolution #Sustainability #UNHabitat

Zero potholes and climate resilient roads are possible only if we use data to help us engineer suitable road materials and maintenance schedules for our road assets. #roadmaintenance #roads #pavement #roadsafety #climatechange #climateResilient #Infrastructure

Urban Heat Mapping illustrates the areas of our city where heat rises during hot weather. We can better adjust to climate change by charting regions that experience extreme heat. It provides us with knowledge about green infrastructure, urban planning, and the use of various materials to control city temperatures.
