Our weekly #climate cartoon on our melting glaciers and the plight of all the living creatures they home. We hope this highlights the need to protect our beautiful natural landscapes and all the living creatures that inhabit them from the effects of #globalwarming and #climatechange, so we can enjoy their beauty for years to come. #climateeducation #sustainability #climateaction #netzero #naturebasedsolutions #globalwarming

🌍 Europe's Urban Centers at Rising Risk from Climate Change ⚠️ Europe’s iconic cities – #Amsterdam, #London, and #Madrid – face increasing challenges as #climatechange intensifies. Recent studies reveal these #urban areas are becoming increasingly #vulnerable to extreme #weather events, such as #floods and #heatwaves, which threaten their #infrastructure and residents' well-being. As these cities adapt to evolving #environmental pressures, they highlight the urgent need for #resilientplanning and #sustainabledevelopment across Europe. By addressing these risks head-on, Europe can lead in creating #cities that are both livable and #climateresilient. 📄 Read the full article here https://lnkd.in/gERz_4wc

Look at the weather forecast and it’s often warmest of all in London. The same goes for the microclimates created in other large cities. But why does it get so much hotter in built-up areas? As it turns out, the ‘urban heat island’ effect is mostly down to the smoothness of the landscape and the local climate, not the materials cities are made from. So let’s look at the science. #cooltech #evaporativecooling #climate
