Ordinary white paint reflects about 75% of the sun's energy. ChillSkyn's coating claims to reflect up to 97.5%, meaning it absorbs just one-tenth as much heat. It also sheds more heat than it absorbs, which keeps sun-exposed surfaces about 6°C below the surrounding air temperature without using any…

Extreme heat already affects more than 80% of the world's population. Each year it kills around 500,000 people and puts tens of millions of outdoor workers at risk.

Every air conditioner, every refrigerator, every cooling system ever built doesn't actually 'cool' anything — it just moves heat from one place to another. The refrigerator ejects it into your kitchen. The AC …
Twenty-two thousand miles of coastline are actively eroding right now — a number projected to nearly triple, to 60,000 miles, in the years ahead.

Climate risk has long been viewed as a threat to physical assets and business revenues.
In this episode, we sit down with David Adler, co-founder of Groundswell, to make the case for a different framing entirely — one that puts human health at the center of the adaptation story.

Most companies know climate risk is coming for their assets. Far fewer know how to measure it — or what it would cost to do something about it. That's the gap that Iain Willis at Tempest Risk is working to close.
Tempest Risk is a UK-based software company that models physical climate risk acro…
