Cities across the United States and around the world are grappling with ways to protect people from extreme heat as global warming pushes temperatures higher each year. In the shadow of the United Nations COP28 climate change conference opening later this month in Dubai, much work is already being done in the attempt to ease extreme heat at the ground level in U.S. communities like Phoenix, which is considered the hottest big city in America.
