The Extreme Heat Tech Stack: The Solutions Leaders Urgently Need
We need to urgently build the extreme heat technology stack. Leaders need to be equipped with the knowledge of the different technology solutions.
- Global heat-related deaths have increased 30% since 2020, with 2025 being the hottest year on record, driving urgency for solutions.
- The extreme heat tech stack includes passive cooling (reflective roofs, green roofs), active cooling (heat pumps, district cooling), AI-powered risk mapping, and heat-resistant infrastructure.
- Startups like CoolRoofs Inc., PassiveLogic, and HeatSense Labs are leading innovation, while governments have allocated over $10 billion in the US alone for heat resilience.
