📢 Paper alert! Our new Environmental Reviews paper is the first systematic review of Canadian evidence on how #GreenInfrastructure + #BlueInfrastructure cool cities. Grateful to my co-authors & to NSERC + Caivan Communities for support. 👉 doi.org/10.1139/er-2... #Canada #UHI #EcosystemServices
Synthesizing the evidence on green and blue infrastructure for urban temperature mitigation in Canada
Urban green and blue infrastructure (UGBI) is increasingly integrated into cities for its numerous benefits, particularly their cooling effects. As the body of evidence on UGBI cooling ability grows, ...

The Middle East is warming twice as fast as the globe thanks in no small part to its own oil + gas emissions—but from youth activists to engineers, people here are proving that even in the hottest places, change is happening.

What if our cities actually acted like we’re in a #ClimateEmergency? Many declared one, but if they had to prove they understand what an emergency is, could they?

What have they done? Changed? Started? Stopped? How are they going much further, faster?

Melting Arctic ice isn’t just bad for polar bears; it’s bad for us, too.

A warmer Arctic and changing circulation patterns affect coastlines, crops, and climate patterns around the world.
What happens in the Arctic doesn't really matter, right?

Hot off the press! 🔥 In our new open-access paper led by Emma Ramsay, we calibrated the #UrbanCoolingModel of #InVEST using data from #Singapore to estimate the economic value of vegetation's cooling. Useful for comparing urban development scenarios in tropical cities! doi.org/10.1016/j.sc...
