LeversHow can we cool down our cities ? In Belgium, one of the LEVERS ventures is tackling the challenge of urban heat islands by co-creating cooling spots in public spaces.This initiative is a perfect example of what LEVERS is all about: local solutions, for a fairer and more sustainable future.Want to get involved or learn more about the LEVERS approach? Let’s connect and exchange ideas — because climate action starts at the local level.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LEVERSforClimate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LEVERSforClimate</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UrbanCooling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanCooling</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/YouthAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YouthAction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ClimateJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateJustice</a>

The Bright SideIn August, Valeria Morales-Soto reported on creative cooling solutions for cities. One highlight: cooling green roofs in Rio de Janeiro! Now NPR digs into how green roofs made their way to the favelas, and the challenges faced. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/UrbanCooling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanCooling</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Innovation</a>

Good News Community🌆🌿 A new study reveals that rural land surrounding cities could help reduce urban heat islands by nearly 30%! 🌡️ Researchers found that rural areas within a 6-9 mile radius can lower city temperatures by up to 32.9°F. This approach could complement existing strategies like increasing green spaces within cities. - <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2024/08/03/urban-heat-islands-rural-cooling/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2024/08/03/urban-heat-islands-rural-cooling/</a><a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/UrbanCooling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UrbanCooling</a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/ClimateAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateAction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/SustainableCities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SustainableCities</a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/GreenInfrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreenInfrastructure</a> <a href="https://mastodon.cosmicnation.co/tags/GoodNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoodNews</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/goodnews" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@goodnews</a>
