Rising temperatures threaten the wellbeing of residents, wildlife, and the functioning of critical infrastructure. In a warming climate, it is critical for cities to apply solutions that reduce their vulnerability to dangerous heat. A climate-ready city:

  • implements practical science-backed solutions to keep temperatures within safe limits
  • is aware of the threats that heat poses to residents
  • takes measures now to prepare for long term resilience.
