Heat Island Reduction Program

Cooler neighbourhoods through urban greening The Heat Island Reduction Program helps communities reduce urban heat through trees, cool roofs, cool pavements, and smart land-use planning. EPA shares mitigation benefits and policy tools with local decision-makers and residents. What you can do - Organise a tree-planting or cool-roof pilot on a heat-vulnerable block - Ask your city to adopt heat island strategies in climate and equity plans - Use EPA materials to educate neighbours on shade and reflective surfaces How to participate - Browse actions at Heat Island Reduction - Partner with schools and parks departments on planting days Why it matters Heat islands hit low-income neighbourhoods hardest. Community greening cuts cooling demand and makes outdoor life safer during heat waves.
