Ahead of #COP28, the Global Cooling Pledge calls on stakeholders to commit to action on a range of issues, including: 🌴Nature-based solutions ⚡️Super-efficient appliances 🔗Food & vaccine cold chains ❄️District cooling 📝National Cooling Action Plans Read more👇 #ActOnCooling

#ClimateChange is exceptional and caused by human greenhouse gas emissions We are causing #globalwarming 100 times faster than past natural changes We are taking Earth’s climate way beyond natural limits, with carbon dioxide and temperatures levels not seen for 3 million years

'We will continue to see such unprecedented extremes until we stop burning fossil fuels and emitting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.' Temperatures in parts of Chile and Argentina have soared to 10°C-20°C above average over the last few days. Matt Patterson explains ⬇️

So glad to be part of the Ozone Pavillion today COP28 UAE. Thanks to Environmental Investigation Agency for hosting the event where I presented on how we report HFC emissions. Engineering Science, Oxford Oxford Martin School

Very proud to be a Scientific Adviser to the EAC in this report. Looking forward to hearing what others think of this work next week!

☀🌡2023 was the hottest year ever recorded globally. The UK must prioritise passive cooling, nature-based solutions & improving the thermal comfort of homes. 📖 Read our #HeatResilience & #SustainableCooling report: publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5804/cmse… 🔎More info: committees.parliament.uk/committee/62/e…

Increasing the amount of green space is one of the most important tools in tackling impacts of heat The Govt must expand urban green space & introduce measures incentivising green roof installation 📖Read our #HeatResilience & #SustainableCooling report: publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5804/cmse…

The Environmental Audit Committee invited leading academics to pitch ideas for a future inquiry to panel members. The winning entry came from University of Oxford Radhika Khosla #OxfordSmithSchool & Nicole_Miranda Oxford Martin School based on research Oxford Future of Cooling Programme ox.ac.uk/news/2024-01-3…

Dr Nicole Miranda Oxford Energy & Power Group was one of the specialist advisors for the Parliamentary Heat Resilience and Sustainable Cooling inquiry, helping to shape the scope and review evidence. The concluding report, published today, urges the UK Government to introduce a national heat

Proud to have contributed to the UK Parliament's EAC Report published today on Heat Resilience and Sustainable Cooling. @sustainablecooling University of Oxford

This week Minister Graham Stuart MP appeared before EAC & discussed the UK’s national cooling plan as the #COP28 #GlobalCoolingPledge calls for. ☀Our #HeatResilience report sets out measures the Government should consider when formulating its plan, read at bit.ly/3vXxXKh
