What are the challenges of heat mitigation?

What are the main challenges we face in heat mitigation?

The main challenges include urban heat islands, lack of green spaces, and insufficient infrastructure for cooling.

How do urban heat islands contribute to this problem?

Urban heat islands trap heat due to concrete and asphalt, raising temperatures significantly compared to rural areas.

What strategies can be implemented to overcome these challenges?

Strategies include increasing vegetation, using reflective materials, and improving building designs for better ventilation.

Are there any technological solutions being developed?

Yes, technologies like cool roofs, green walls, and smart city planning are being developed to address heat mitigation.

What role does community involvement play in heat mitigation?

Community involvement is crucial for implementing local solutions, raising awareness, and fostering sustainable practices.
