Smart Surfaces Coalition
The Smart Surfaces Coalition is committed to the rapid, cost-effective global adoption of Smart Surfaces to enable cities to thrive despite climate threats, save cities billions of dollars, decrease heat, reduce flood risk, slow global warming, and improve city livability, health, equity and jobs. Jobs and internships: https://smartsurfacescoalition.org/careers The Coalition is comprised of 40+ leading NGOs from key sectors necessary to drive acceleration of urban smart surface adoption, including: architecture and design, city law and policy, downtowns, energy, equity/low-income, health, planning, urban data analytics. By providing the analytic tools, training, data, research, and support to influence city policies, the Smart Surfaces Coalition seeks to rapidly scale urban Smart Surface adoption globally. This is one of the few strategies available to cost-effectively reduce global CO2-equivalent emissions by 10%. Smart Surfaces include green, reflective, and porous surfaces, urban trees, and solar photovoltaics. By adopting Smart Surface policies, cities can cost-effectively lower emissions, cut peak summer temperatures, and reduce pollution while creating jobs and enhancing competitiveness.
