  Overview of Green Technology in Climate Adaptation Greenhouse technology Green technology, also known as clean or sustainable technology, encompasses innovations and practices that minimize environmental impacts, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance resilience to climate change. As the frequency and intensity of climate-related disasters increase, green technology is emerging as a cornerstone of climate adaptation strategies. This section provides an overview of the concept, its applications across various sectors, and its role in supporting climate resilience. Defining Green Technology Green technology refers to developing and applying products, services, and systems that use resources efficiently and reduce negative environmental impacts. It spans various fields, including renewable energy, water management, agriculture, urban planning, and disaster risk reduction (United Nations Environment Programme [UNEP], 2022). Unlike traditional technologies that often deplet...

  Green Infrastructure for Urban Resilience Solar Panel Rooftop Green Infrastructure As urban areas face increasing risks from climate change, including rising temperatures, flooding, and extreme weather events, green infrastructure has emerged as a vital solution for enhancing urban resilience. Green infrastructure integrates natural and engineered systems to manage water, improve air quality, and provide cooling while delivering social and economic benefits. This section explores various green infrastructure technologies, their applications, and their role in building climate-resilient cities. The Role of Green Infrastructure in Urban Resilience Green infrastructure refers to systems and spaces that mimic natural processes to provide ecosystem services in urban environments. These include green roofs, permeable pavements, urban forests, and wetlands, which work collectively to address climate challenges. Urban heat islands (UHIs) represent a significant challenge in modern citi...
