The impact of climate change is increasingly felt in cities, where extreme weather events such as prolonged heat waves are exacerbated by the urban heat island effect. With more than 55% of the world's population residing in cities, it has become crucial to address the climatic challenges in urban areas. This urgency has led to the development of the new Annex "Sustainable Cooling in Cities," which focuses on implementing climate actions in urban agglomerations.
