MEER director Peter Dynes hosts founder and director Dr. Ye Tao discussing climate change, urban heat adaptation, and climate restoration using surface reflection technology and more.
In this episode, Dr. Tao explains the origins of MEER and the framework he worked on with hundreds of students across the United States. He also talks about the framework's above other mitigation schemes. Additionally, he explains CROI (Cooling Return on Investment) and why it is so vital to factor in what is feasible in terms of mitigation. We hope you find this episode helpful and enlightening.
