PHN Presents: The Dark Side of a Bright Future Shady Strategies to Survive Climate Change
Shade can play a vital role in enhancing livability, human health, and sustainability, especially in historically temperate cities that face a future of extreme heat. As global climate change and urban development raises local temperatures, access to shade will soon become essential infrastructure for survivability and environmental justice.
Join this Passive House Network webinar to learn how awnings, trees, and more thoughtful urban design can cool the city, reduce emissions, and make our public spaces safer and more accessible to all. Shade’s distribution reflects profound inequalities, and expanding access can help shape a cooler and fairer future.
Featured Presenter: Sam Bloch, an environmental journalist and the author of Shade: The Promise of a Forgotten Natural Resource.
