In tropical cities, urban heat islands (UHIs) exacerbate an already challenging hot-humid heat burden for residents. UHIs are formed by urban artificial surfaces like concrete and asphalt that retain heat by day and slowly release it at night, never giving cities a chance to cool.

Our stories change: In this UNESCO Creative City, climate action is stitched with artistry
From Indigenous embroidery to community murals and heirloom seeds, artists and cultural workers in UNESCO Creative City Iloilo are stitching tradition into climate resilience.
The Bangladesh government has adopted a master plan to develop Maheshkhali sub-district through three industrial zones: An energy hub with 13 gigawatts of LNG and coal power plants, a deep-sea port with container and multipurpose terminals, and a special economic zone.
Carey Island, home to Malaysia's Indigenous Mah Meri community, is being primed for the expansion of Port Klang, one of the world's busiest container terminals. But the Mah Meri, who depend on the island's dwindling mangroves to produce their UNESCO-recognised wood carvings, are urging the government to recognise the importance of the land to their culture and heritage.
