So cool to see these kinds of innovative technologies reshaping how we cope with heatwaves!
Over 60% of Paris roofs are that iconic zinc—historic, but heat-trapping.
Interior insulation solutions require air gaps and flexible materials. Startup Roofscapes is testing wooden decks + vegetation on the outside of roofs to create solar protection. www.roofscapes.studio

Even after the disastrous L.A. wildfires abated last year, the danger from smoke persisted for many people living nearby.
A new study finds that, by some measures, indoor air pollution actually worsened after the fires.

Did you know…glacial ice tells stories about the Earth’s past? Ice cores, cylinders of ice drilled from glaciers & ice sheets, can reveal information about the Earth’s atmosphere and climate from as far back as 100,000 years ago. The oldest ice core record, from Greenland, dates back 130,000 years!

Recent data show that 2025 was the third warmest year on record.
And, the past three years have averaged more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels (1850–1900) – the first time a three-year period surpassed warming of 1.5°C.

What do you think of when you hear the word ‘resilient’? Resilience isn’t always about being tough, stoic, or unaffected by adversity. At The Resilience Institute, we often think of #resilience as being prepared for future #climate impacts and bringing people together in #community.

"Kigali’s project cannot stop floods on its own or reverse climate change, but it represents a rare, citywide effort to rebuild nature-based infrastructure — offering one of the continent’s clearest models for urban areas seeking to boost their resilience." #NbS #resilience
As rainfall intensifies in the Rwandan capital of Kigali, the city is working with nature to protect against worsening floods.
Officials are reforesting hillsides and restoring more than 18,000 acres of degraded wetlands to absorb stormwater.

Plagued by Flooding, an African City Reengineers Its Wetlands
As climate change and urbanization intensify flooding in Rwanda, the hilly capital of Kigali has embraced nature-based solutions. The city is restoring and reshaping 18,000 acres of degraded wetlands, planting native species to filter and slow runoff and enhancing biodiversity.

Did you know, the loud boom of fireworks isn’t accidental; it’s engineered. But here’s the cool part: There are low-noise and soundless fireworks. These alternatives are safer for wildlife, pets, and people with sound sensitivities, while still lighting up the sky beautifully.
