HEAT RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE

As climate change intensifies, heat-resilient infrastructure is becoming essential to ensure buildings and urban areas remain energy-efficient and comfortable. Many existing structures are ill-equipped to handle rising temperatures, leading to increased energy costs and discomfort, particularly in urban areas affected by the heat island effect. Innovative solutions like cool roofs, advanced insulation, and green roofs are addressing these challenges by reducing the need for air conditioning and improving thermal performance. Companies like SkyCool Systems, SageGlass, and Glavel are leading the way with sustainable technologies that make urban environments more resilient to climate change.

That's all for this edition! Thanks for doing your part in mobilizing a workforce transition to work on climate!
