If you're attending the 2026 CAG conference in Victoria, BC, Canada (June 1–4), consider submitting to Special Session #88 focused on utilizing NbS to mitigate UHI. I look forward to learning from your work and exchanging ideas. More info: event.fourwaves.com/cagcarto2026... #UrbanHeatIsland #NbS

A huge 89% majority of global people [56% even in the United States] want stronger action to fight the #ClimateCrisis, but mistakenly believe they’re in a minority. People want action. Smart cities are taking action. Nations should support city action. #ActionStartsHere @mayors4climate.bsky.social

The Middle East is warming twice as fast as the globe thanks in no small part to its own oil + gas emissions—but from youth activists to engineers, people here are proving that even in the hottest places, change is happening. Read on MailChimp: shorturl.at/SvFiy Read on LinkedIn: shorturl.at/fjOiY

📢 Paper alert! Our new Environmental Reviews paper is the first systematic review of Canadian evidence on how #GreenInfrastructure + #BlueInfrastructure cool cities. Grateful to my co-authors & to NSERC + Caivan Communities for support. 👉 doi.org/10.1139/er-2... #Canada #UHI #EcosystemServices

What if our cities actually acted like we’re in a #ClimateEmergency? Many declared one, but if they had to prove they understand what an emergency is, could they? What have they done? Changed? Started? Stopped? How are they going much further, faster? HT for great graphic by @tomflood.bsky.social

Melting Arctic ice isn’t just bad for polar bears; it’s bad for us, too. A warmer Arctic and changing circulation patterns affect coastlines, crops, and climate patterns around the world.
