Cooling Cities with Green Roofs

How to cool down a heated city by 1.5°C? 🌡️ Add Green Roofs! 🌳

Heatwaves are becoming more common, leading to droughts, wildfires, and extreme temperatures in cities. After consecutive days with high temperatures, buildings are no longer able to radiate their heat. At night, we feel the heat in the streets as heat islands are created.

Adding Green Roofs to our buildings may provide an answer to this problem. Green Roofs cool the air by approximately 1.5°C, reducing heat stress. Additionally, Green Roofs improve the appearance of buildings, purify the air, and stimulate biodiversity. Food production becomes possible. Even on a small scale, every bit helps.
