Weather extremes gripping US bear climate crisis ‘fingerprint’, experts say There are flooding rains in Hawaii, rare snow in Alabama and a severe heatwave in the west coast

112°F 🔥🔥 in March is a warning, but our cities are fighting back! 🌡️🌳 From NY to the West Coast, "sponge" parks are keeping our kids cool and our homes safe from floods. 🌊💪 #ClimateResilience #SafeCities #MomLife #GreenInfrastructure

Every £1 invested in urban green space returns an estimated £27 in social, economic and environmental value. Cooler streets, cleaner air, better mental health, stronger communities. The case for a national urban greening strategy has never been clearer. #GreenInfrastructure #PolicyMatters

Cool cities w/ beautiful #greeninfrastructure #greenroofs #livingwalls #communitygardens #foodforests #raingardens #permeablepavers #composting #greenalleys #habitatcorridors #rainbarrels #compost #bioswales #streettrees #nativeplants #constructedweetlands. Many low cost interventions w/ good ROI

For every £1 spent on London’s public parks, an estimated £27 returns in health, wellbeing and environmental benefits (GLA, 2017). Across England it’s £1:£7.

A national urban greening strategy should be a policy no-brainer. #GreenInfrastructure #ProgressivePolicy #Nature

Green roofs absorb rainwater, reduce urban heat, and bring biodiversity back to cities. This is climate action you can stand on. 🌍

Lake Bluff outlines $3.9M East North stormwater phase; engineers detail multi‑phase plan and funding needs Village engineer Jeff Hansen told the SCC the East North construction contract is $3.9 million and expected to be substantially complete by July 4; the project is part of a larger multi‑phase stormwater master plan that has drawn a $750,000 federal earmark and a $2.7 million DCEO grant, with later phases potentially funded by bonds and state contributions.

Lake Bluff is investing $3.9 million in a transformative stormwater project aimed at reducing flooding and enhancing water quality, with substantial progress expected by July 4!

India is accelerating the use of recycled rubber from waste tyres to build stronger, longer-lasting roads. Rubberised asphalt improves flexibility and durability, helping roads withstand heat and heavy traffic while reducing cracks and potholes. This eco-friendly approach also tackles the growing problem of tyre waste by turning it into useful infrastructure material. Countries like United States and Netherlands have shown that rubberised roads can also reduce road noise, making cities quieter while cutting maintenance costs. For India, scaling this technology means cleaner highways, safer drives, lower lifecycle costs, and less landfill waste—a smart win for infrastructure and the environment.

India builds roads with recycled rubber ♻️🛣️
Stronger, greener highways + less tyre waste = smart infra.

Traditional pavement creates runoff that overwhelms storm systems and carries pollutants. Permeable driveways infiltrate water naturally, filtering it through soil.
Better for properties, better for watersheds.

India to Use Plastic Waste for Road Construction by 2027 India plans to use plastic waste in road construction to reduce garbage dumps and improve waste management across cities by 2027. By mixing processed plastic with bitumen, the roads become stronger, more durable, and more resistant to water damage, while also cutting down plastic pollution. The initiative aims to tackle the growing plastic waste problem, reduce landfill pressure, and promote a circular economy, helping keep cities cleaner while improving road quality nationwide.

India turns plastic waste into roads 🇮🇳
City plastic waste will be used for road construction to reduce dumps and improve sustainability by 2027.

Dubai’s “Sponge City” Bet: Why Climate-Resilient Urban Design May Outperform Concrete Defenses Dubai is exploring China’s “Sponge City” model to manage flooding, heat, and water scarcity. The approach could reshape urban climate resilience from Florida to California.

What if cities stopped fighting water and started designing around it?

Dubai’s interest in China’s “Sponge City” model hints at a shift in climate adaptation. #ClimateAdaptation, #UrbanPlanning, #GreenInfrastructure

Report from World Government Summit 2026 ⬇️

Speakers call for scaling nature-based solutions, say investment dwarfed by destruction In a brief public discussion, two unnamed speakers said global spending on nature-based solutions is tiny compared with money spent on activities that harm nature, and urged wider use of green roofs, parks and mixed-use development to reduce urban heat and boost well-being.

Cities are spending $30 to destroy nature for every dollar invested in solutions that protect it, but there's a path to a greener future through urban nature-based initiatives!
