Last week, Grist published a multimedia project exploring how Cities can prepare for Extreme Heat, one of the deadliest impacts of climate change. The project envisions a combination of heat-proofing strategies, such as cool roofs, green corridors, and tree-equity plans, to build more resilient and low-carbon living spaces. The solutions highlighted in the project, which include shade, green space, water, airflow, and energy-efficiency, were found to be generally straightforward and not overly high-tech. While implementation may vary based on geographic location, experts agreed on the need to prepare cities for extreme heat.
