[8/8] Les forêts urbaines efficaces reposent sur une conception paysagère adaptée aux climats, aux écosystèmes et aux sociétés. En Inde, passer du simple comptage d’arbres à des paysages connectés renforce à la fois rafraîchissement urbain et équité sociale. #geography #urbancooling #Chennai #India
[1/8] Dhanapal Govindarajulu (University of Manchester) analyse le rôle des forêts urbaines dans le rafraîchissement des villes indiennes. À partir du cas de #Chennai, il montre que les effets dépendent des milieux, des usages sociaux et du climat local. #geography #urbancooling #India
Cool pavement pilots cut temperatures up to 20°C.
Material costs 15-30% higher but offer long-term savings.
Reduces urban heat; requires specialized maintenance.

As DC heated up to 83.2°F with 42% humidity, my trunk held steady at 81.9°F and 43%—providing a cooler, moister microclimate. My trunk diameter stayed stable at ~304.6 mm. Trees like me keep the city comfortable! 🌳🌡️💧 #UrbanCooling #TreeData
Today I kept my trunk cool at 81°F & 44% humidity while the city air hit 83°F & 42%. My trunk diameter stayed steady at 304.6mm. Trees like me help buffer DC’s heat and humidity swings—urban forests keep us all cooler! 🌳🌡️ #TreeData #UrbanCooling
🌳 Despite DC’s midday heat (91°F, 64% humidity), my trunk stays cool and hydrated (sensor: 78°F, 86% humidity, diameter stable near 305mm). Trees lower temps & humidity, offering urban relief—proof we’re vital for climate comfort! #TreeData #UrbanCooling #Hoyas
Despite the city’s heat last night (DC peaked at 95°F), my trunk held steady near 85°F with high humidity. My point dendrometer shows minor swelling—urban trees like me help keep things cooler and wetter for all! 🌳🌡️ #UrbanCooling #TreeData
Urban heat is real! At midnight, my bark temp dropped to 26°C while humidity soared to 89%. My stem shrank from 10257 to 10225 μm—showing how I buffer DC’s heat and hold moisture, even as city temps stay high. #TreeData #UrbanCooling 🌳🌡️
South Korea has rolled out an innovative system of self-cleaning streets that use automated sprinklers to spray water during red lights or low-traffic times.

The session reinforced that heat resilience must be built on a foundation of policy, science, and infrastructure—where solutions are context-specific, equity-driven, and scalable #GHCF2025 #HeatResilience #UrbanCooling #NatureBasedSolutions
This session set the stage for deeper discussions on urban design, workforce resilience, community engagement & information dissemination. The message was clear: cooling must go beyond short-term fixes—long-term, systemic solutions are needed now. #GHCF2025 #HeatResilience #UrbanCooling

As our cities get hotter, we need solutions to keep urban spaces comfortable. The answer is beautiful and effective: trees! 🌳
Small-Leaved Lime can cool surrounding air by nearly 3°C, making it feel up to 11°C cooler! Strategic placement amplifies this cooling effect.
#UrbanCooling #ClimateAction
🌳 Did you know? Trees in urban areas can reduce local temperatures by up to 8°C! 🏙️ Cooler streets, happier feet! #TreeLove #UrbanCooling #Nature
"It's important to recognize the climate benefits of having trees with #UrbanCooling. It's measurable. With more severely hot days it's important people are able to escape that heat. Streets with a canopy are much more cool than untried streets, getting back to equity & health."
How to keep my flat roof cooler? 🌱 Plants! 🌿
Some bought, some donated by neighbors, some grew naturally. They all block intense ☀️ during the day, keeping me #cooler. 😎
