Cities are getting hotter — but “Cooling Corridors” are bringing shade, breeze, and smarter design back to the streets. 🌿💨 A future where urban heatwaves don’t control our lives might be closer than we think. 🌍✨

COP30 Day 2 focuses on climate adaptation in cities. One billion people live in coastal cities vulnerable to sea level rise. Urban heat islands already kill thousands every year. Our infrastructure was designed for a climate that no longer exists.

Low-income communities and communities of color face the worst impacts: fewer resources for adaptation, less access to cooling, vulnerable housing stock, heat exposure from lack of tree cover. This is climate injustice playing out in real time.
