Comparing four elementary schools, researchers found that even when greening is defined specifically as tree canopy, its cooling benefits depend heavily on local climate conditions, suggesting that site-specific design strategies are needed to create safer, more equitable school environments. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4nx9h3ns Wed, 9 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Wall, Katherine https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9fv938j6 A Renters’ Right to Cooling: Addressing Extreme Heat in Rental Housing https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9fv938j6 Wed, 10 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Kirk, Chelsea https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9054t88w Drought & Climate Resiliency Solutions for Small Water Systems in LA County https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9054t88w Wed, 10 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Sun, Alex Samsel, Allison Pasebani, Aydin Ren, Catherine Curry, Chloe Choi, Dana Cadena, Emily Blain, Leo Moinpour, Leila Sakandar, Nasir de Santos, Veronica Callan, Will https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4cg1j40j Equity-Focused Heat Adaptation Strategies for Los Angeles County https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4cg1j40j Wed, 10 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Chu, Hanqing Adams, Jacqueline Li, Jiaxin Goldmuntz, Sarah https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3p99j7w5 Deconstructing Evaluation to Build a Resilient Future: Best Practices for Measuring Impacts of the Community Resilience Centers Grant Program https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3p99j7w5 Wed, 10 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Freiberg, Katie https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5xg8r697 Customer choice in energy is spreading quickly. Multiple states allow cities and counties to purchase electricity on behalf of their communities — a procurement model called community choice aggregation. This paper uses California as a case study to examine how community choice aggregators are affecting levels of renewable energy at the local and state levels. We find that CCAs have had both direct and indirect effects that have led to increases in the clean energy sold in excess of the state’s renewable portfolio standard (RPS) goals. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5xg8r697 Fri, 18 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000 Chu, Hanqing Adams, Jacqueline Li, Jiaxin Goldmuntz, Sarah
