2. • Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air
and oceans since the mid-20th century, and its projected continuation. In media, it is synomonous
with the term “Climate Change.”
• Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C during the 100 years ending in 2005.The
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes "most of the observed increase in
globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed
increase in greenhouse gas concentrations’ Via an enhanced greenhouse effect.

10. What is Urban Heat Island
"Urban heat islands" occur when cities replace
natural land cover with dense concentrations of
pavement, buildings, and other surfaces that absorb
and retain heat. This effect increases energy costs
(e.g., for air conditioning), air pollution levels, and
heat-related illness and mortality
14. Green Roof
A green roof or living roof is a roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with
vegetation and a growing medium, planted over a waterproofing membrane. It may also include
additional layers such as a root barrier and drainage and irrigation systems.

16. Green roof plants can offer high aesthetic value to people (Oudolf & Gerritsen 2003) while supporting
essential ecological functions such as habitat for songbirds and pollinators.
Nassauer (1997), Dreiseitl, et al. (2001). Echols (2007) highlight the importance of creating artful
storm water management facilities for enjoyment, engaged education, and perceived
value by residents and stakeholders. Native songbirds depend on native plants (Tallamy 2007) and
green roofs have the potential to provide habitat and increase biodiversity (Grant 2013).

21. Sponge city
The Sponge City indicates a particular type of city that does not act like an impermeable system not allowing
any water to filter through the ground, but, more like a sponge, actually absorbs the rain water, which is
then naturally filtered by the soil and allowed to reach into the urban aquifers.
Urban areas are designed, or in many cases redesigned, to use a combination of storage tunnels,
permeable pavements, rain gardens, constructed ponds and wetlands to store as much water as
possible. These features not only serve as storage to prevent flooding, but also to serve as a source of
water for re-use during times of drought.
