    All awesome cooling solutions...but the road, the trees, and the surfaces of the buildings in that image can contribute a lot too! In places that need cooling services the most, those solutions are the most readily implemented and deliver real quality of life benefits.

    So many clean cooling solutions and technologies already available to be implemented at scale.

    The 1995 Chicago heat wave helped spur cool roof and passive cooling policies in a number of cities. The tragedy of the NW Heat Dome needs to do the same. This NYer piece puts a human face on the disaster of extreme heat.

    Looking at what was included and not included in these calculations, these extraordinary findings are actually conservative estimates of the impact of heat.

    Impacts of extreme heat in US from new report: 60,000 deaths in US per year by 2050 $200 billion in economic losses by 2030 (3X cost of hurricanes today) 450,000 workplace injuries by 2050 Disproportionate impact on Black & Hispanic workers

    Similar to white roofs, light pavement instead of asphalt can contribute to lowering ambient temperatures. Could lighter-colored, more reflective roads be in our future? Learn more:

    I'm really proud to be working with Cool Roofs Indonesia and the other amazing teams competing in the Million Cool Roofs Challenge! These teams are building markets for cool roofs in places that need them most...and succeeding despite a global pandemic!

    Check out Cool Roofs Indonesia 1st phase. Wish the best of luck for the 2nd phase! Thank you for supporting this project

    At the building scale, solar-reflective roofs [white roofs] can reduce cooling energy demand by 10–40%. Read the white paper to discover why we need cool roofs for a warming world:

    GCCA is part of a diverse coalition that drafted a letter to national leaders highlighting how investing in heat resilience lets us build back better, generate huge economic benefits, and prepare our communities for heat stress.

    This is a really smart bill to build heat resilience in our communities and strengthen the national response to extreme heat. A lot to like here for both Ds and Rs.

    Why do we need more cool roofs? 1⃣ Saves 💵! Lower energy bills for building owner 2⃣ Slows climate change! Less cooling demand means less emissions, AND more light is reflected out of atmosphere 3⃣Adaptation & resilience! At scale, can cool areas in summer by several degrees
