綠色好事
全球現有超過一半人口在城市居住，而這個趨勢仍持續上升。我們的城市已消耗全球75%的能源，是造成氣候危機的一個重要因素。城市越大，就越容易受高溫和豪雨影響。但我們可利用一些原創意念，令城市變得更環保、更宜居。
在哥倫比亞，城市規劃師正利用綠色走廊改善空氣質素，同時透過社會項目改善麥德林這個曾是販毒據點的城市的社會氛圍。
透過「系列改造」方案讓舊住宅樓宇快速廉宜地更新。可持續建築材料被用以製造備有隔溫層和窗戶的外牆構件，然後像第二層皮膚一樣安裝到舊樓宇上。用這個方法，僅在德國，每年就可以翻新650萬個住宅。
波蘭小鎮科寧卻在缺乏政府支持下推動能源轉型。他們把燃煤發電廠改造為利用生物能源發電，還建成了波蘭最大的太陽能發電廠。
印尼的龍目島曾於數年前經歷強烈地震，如今，人們利用以塑膠廢料製成的建材興建新校舍和新住宅。這種輕盈的建材給予人們安全感，同時亦把塑膠廢料循環再造。

More than half of the world's population now lives in cities. And the trend is rising. Our cities already consume 75 percent of the energy generated worldwide and thus contribute significantly to the climate crisis. The larger the places become, the more susceptible they tend to be to heat or heavy rain. But there are original ideas we can use to make cities greener and more livable.
In Colombia, urban planners are using green corridors to improve air quality and, at the same time, social projects to improve the social climate in the former drug stronghold of Medellín.
With the "serial renovation" method, older residential buildings can be modernized quickly and inexpensively. Sustainable building materials are used to produce facade components with insulation and windows, which are then screwed onto old buildings like a second skin. Following this method, over six and a half million homes could be renovated each year in Germany alone.
The small Polish town of Konin is initiating the energy turnaround without the help of the Polish government. It is converting its coal-fired power plants to biomass and has now built Poland's largest photovoltaic plant.
On the Indonesian island of Lombok, which was hit by terrible earthquakes a few years ago, new schools and homes are being built from former plastic waste. The lightweight construction gives people more security. At the same time, plastic waste is recycled.
