City temperatures are spiking compared to surrounding areas.
It’s called the "urban heat island" effect.
With our EU #AdaptationStrategy, we want more:
🌿green roofs
🌳trees
💨wind corridors
To make our cities healthier for us and #ForNature.

Cities are often 10-15 °C hotter than their rural surroundings

A recent JRC study looks at the difference between surface temperatures of urban areas and their neighbouring rural areas in summer.
