Increasing urbanization and population growth have brought attention to urban
microclimates in recent years. The study on urban microclimate and its impact on the built …

Climate change increases risks to natural and human systems. Green infrastructure (GI) has
been increasingly recognized as a promising nature-based solution for climate change …

In all cities and urban areas, the risk faced by people and assets from hazards associated
with climate change has increased (high confidence1). Urban areas are now home to 4.2 …

In the context of rapid urbanization and global warming, how to use urban green space
(UGS) with high-efficiency to mitigate the urban heat islands (UHIs) effect in different climate …

Urbanization leads to the construction of various urban infrastructures in the city area for
residency, transportation, industry, and other purposes, which causes major land use …

Transformative governance is key to addressing the global environmental crisis. We explore
how transformative governance of complex biodiversity–climate–society interactions can be …

Pavements occupy about 40% of urban land cover, with 75–80% black top roads, playing a
critical role in urban connectivity and mobility. Solar energy is absorbed and stored in …

Research on urban heat mitigation has been growing in recent years with many of the
studies focusing on green infrastructure (GI) as a strategy to mitigate the adverse effects of …

With rapid urbanization, population growth and anthropogenic activities, an increasing
number of major cities across the globe are facing severe urban heat islands (UHI). UHI can …

Infrastructure-based heat reduction strategies can help cities adapt to high temperatures, but
simulations of their cooling potential yield widely varying predictions. We systematically …
