🌐🌞 This is MEER passive cooling in action! Inside temperatures dropped by up to 7°C using our passive cooling systems that can be made from recyclable materials. We're committed to enhancing climate resilience in vulnerable communities worldwide.
QAs communities confront climate risks, Liam Kavanagh highlights how adaptation efforts can drive awareness — encouraging collective action toward global decarbonization.

Climate stabilization isn’t one fix. It’s cooling, restoring albedo, protecting ice sheets, and avoiding tipping points. Paul Gambill explains why we need a portfolio of solutions and why MEER’s local cooling work matters now.

Coral reefs may already be past a point of no return. As climate instability deepens, the very systems needed to respond are breaking down. This isn’t just ecological loss — it’s systemic failure. (Paul Gambill)

Reflective roofing is a small but effective sustainability choice. MEER is grounded in the same principle: applying physical understanding to real-world climate adaptation. — Eliot Jacobson

“[Stabilization] also means local and regional cooling and taking actions to break up large storms before they wreck cities and croplands, or break heat domes, or the type of work that MEER is doing to help deal with the fact that it is already too hot.” - Paul Gambill, MEERTalk

“Our climate instability is going to reduce our capacity to actually act, which is going to make climate change harder to solve, which creates more instability… This is what we’re on track for even in the most optimistic carbon mitigation scenario.” - Paul Gambill, MEERTalk
