Urban heat islands contribute to global warming, intensifying the heat in cities by 1-3°C! Green roofs, parks & reflective surfaces can reduce urban temperatures and enhance livability #GlobalWarming #UrbanHeatIslands #SustainableCities #ClimateChange

UHI is a phenomenon, which exhibits higher Land Surface Temperatures (LST) in comparison to the surrounding areas due to urbanization and anthropogenic activities.

Have you heard of urban heat islands? DYK that #UrbanHeatIslands are inequitable & are all over? A lack of green space, concentrated in low-income, Black & Brown urban communities, causes neighborhood temperatures to rise 8° or more above surrounding areas #EnvironmentalRacism
#UrbanHeatIslands are heating up even more. Most of these “islands” are found in communities of color as a result of historic racist practices of redlining. 🏝️ 🔥
