That generated headlines worldwide. “We have 12 years to limit climate change catastrophe, warns UN!” trumpeted The Guardian. For any chance to achieve that and then reach net-zero by 2050, press accounts added, emissions must peak by 2025 It’s now 2025, and as you’ve likely guessed, they haven’t. Instead, total CO2 emissions keep rising – nearly 1 per cent last year, a world record: 37.4 billion tons

radiative coolers, reflective coatings, and hybrid green infrastructure across 3,323 urban buildings. The results were striking, with a peak temperature reduction of 4.5°C, a 26% decrease in annual cooling degree hours, and a 16% reduction in cooling energy consumption. When combined with energy-efficient adaptations, the total cooling demand fell by 35%, highlighting the potential of these technologies in mitigating urban overheating

Cities like Phoenix and Palm Springs, California, closed in on triple digits in March; Phoenix usually doesn’t reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit until May. This month, hundreds of millions of people across India and Pakistan experienced temperatures as high as 120 degrees Fahrenheit, triggering power outages and protests. The heat has also created conditions for thousands of wildfires in the region
