For Cool Roof, the project CoolMakers and recipe DIY make a simple and sober to people suffering from precarity heat in the summer. The more often, the urban populations of socio-economically marginalized that suffer the peaks of heat, todaynow exacerbated by climate change. In the Neighbourhoods policies of the city (QPV), infrastructure, residential, are often outdated, poorly insulated, and the urban area little green. The result ? Homes and neighbourhoods so-called “strainers thermal” or “kettles thermal.” It’s also known as“urban heat island”.

In a spirit of solidarity, we make it as well the partners of individuals, communities, and actors of thesocial and solidarity economy (SSE) in theadaptation to climate change and its consequences.
