  • While reflective pavement has been proposed and applied in pilot projects, its actual cooling performance remains unclear. Here, authors assessed the cooling potential of reflective pavement in Phoenix, AZ, using multiple heat metrics, reflectivity measures, and literature to provide a set of implementation guidelines.

  • The urban heat island (UHI) effect can increase and decrease mortality depending on the season, yet global comparison is still lacking. This study finds that the UHI effect has net positive impact by reducing more cold-related mortality and highlights the necessity of place-based adaptive cooling strategies.

  • This study measured urban moist heating rates in more than 2,300 cities in the Global South between 2003 and 2020 with a new dataset. It found an increase in urban moist heat of 0.41 ± 0.01 °C per decade, exacerbated by urban browning by 0.05 °C per decade in cities such as those in Nigeria.
