Feeling the heat in your city this summer? 🌆 Urban areas are often warmer due to the Urban Heat Island Effect (UHI), where buildings and paved surfaces absorb heat during the day and release it into the night, intensifying heatwaves🥵 Our portfolio company, SatVu, has partnered with the Office of Planetary Observations to tackle the issue of urban heat using their advanced thermal imaging technology. This will allow local authorities and urban planners to optimise urban greening projects and reduce UHI 🌳 It's another example of how we're backing tech that matters, and it matters now more than ever🌡️ Read more about SatVu's technology and partnership with the Office of Planetary Observations below! #ThermalImaging #UrbanHeat #HeatWave #SpaceTech #ClimateCrisis
