Measures the effectiveness of vegetation, such as trees and green spaces, in providing shade and lowering local temperatures. This is crucial for mitigating the urban heat island effect, reducing energy costs for cooling buildings, and enhancing human comfort and well-being in urban environments. Increasing cooling and shade contributes to creating more resilient and livable cities, especially in the face of rising global temperatures.
