🌳 Can trees really cool our cities?

New research:
🌡️ Up to 12°C cooler streets
🏙️ 83% of 110 cities saw hottest months drop below 26°C
☀️ Most cooling in hot, dry climates

💡 Smart greening = local solutions ➡️ https://t.co/A5VXYVd54I #NatureBasedSolutions #BeatTheHeat https://t.co/1zqFyE1Vt7

🔥 Why do heatwaves settle in and for days and weaks at a time?

The cause? Heat domes, which trap extreme weather in place – like a lid on a pot. 🫖

🔥 Heatwaves are becoming deadlier—but cities like Amadora are fighting back.

In 2022 alone, Portugal lost 2,000+ lives to extreme heat. In response, the #MCR2030 Resilience Hub city took bold steps to protect its people. 🌡️🌳
