Global Cool Ci)es Alliance (GCCA) The Global Cool Ci7es Alliance is dedicated to advancing policies
and ac7ons that reduce excess urban heat in order to cool buildings, cool ci7es, and to mi7gate the effects of climate change
through global cooling.

Urban heat is worsened by global climate change…
…and growing at 2x the global average

Air Temperature 37°C (99°F)
All sorts of roof types and colors are cool

Cooling with reflec)vity: A real-‐world case
The whitewashed greenhouses of Almeria, Spain have cooled the region by 0.8 degrees Celsius each decade compared to surrounding regions, according to 20 years of weather sta7on data.

Global Cooling
• Whitening 1000 f2 of grey roof offsets the warming effect of 10 tons of GHGs.
• Total poten7al is 24 Gt of offsets, or 500 coal power plants worth of emissions, or removing half the world’s cars for 20 years.
