We’ll explore the science and promise of zero-energy radiative cooling, examine how engineering and architecture can reshape cities for climate resilience, and feature on-the-ground perspectives from MEER’s Global South projects. The event also includes a critical look at how dominant economic narratives have obscured the true scale and urgency of the climate crisis.

As the world warms, communities everywhere are grappling with rising urban heat and climate extremes. This half-day event, hosted by MEER, focuses on sustainable cooling solutions that require no electricity, and highlights bold new approaches already underway in some of the world’s most climate-vulnerable regions.
