NASA data reveals role of green spaces in cooling cities
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Dec 03, 2024 As any urban dweller who has lived through a heat wave knows, a shady tree can make all the difference. But what happens when there's no shade available? A recent study in Nature Communications used NASA satellite data to identify a major gap in global resilience to climate change: cities in the Global South have far less green space - and therefore less cooling capacity - than cities in the Global North. The terms Global North and Global South were used in the study to distinguish developed count ... read more
