This special issue of the ACHR newsletter is on passive cooling solutions. Warm thanks go to the Climate Works Foundation for funding support and to all community members and their networks for so generously sharing their stories and knowledge. This newsletter brings together those experiences, not as fixed blueprints, but as adaptable approaches. The solutions presented here are grounded in local capacity, offering inspiration for other communities facing similar heat pressures. Cooling does not need to remain a distant aspiration dependent on expensive technology. It can begin with collective action, practical design, and confidence in the knowledge already present within communities. Click here to read the ACHR Newsletter.
