CONCLUSION

Inclusión, impacto social y Sostenibilidad of Tec, with the organization Alliance for Climate Action (ACA) invited the gobernment of Nuevo Leon and its municipalities as Monterrey, San Pedro, Santa Catarina and San Nicolás to join to the Race to Zero campaign to lower carbon emissions

Reforestación extrema A.C. is an organization that has worked on urban reforestation projects in key areas of Monterrey in collaboration with companies and communities to improve microclimates (reduce heat islands)

Verde Compacto, an organization dedicated to food, seeks a sustainable way to obtain food through its products that optimize water use, shorten supply chains and reduce the need to use large areas of land.

punishments: punish companies that do not comply with environmental measuresRegulations: Enforcing green spaces, cool roofs, and reflective surfaces in urban areas.Reforestation: Leading tree-planting and green infrastructure projects.Partnerships: Collaborating with businesses and universities for eco-friendly solutions.

SECRETARIA DE MEDIO AMBIENTE N.L

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT (Secretaría de Desarrollo Urbano de Monterrey)

Urban Planning: Develop and enforce regulations for green spaces and reflective materials in construction. Incentives: Provide incentives for businesses and homeowners to install green roofs or solar panels. Public Awareness: Launch campaigns to educate the public on the benefits of reducing heat islands.

THE PROBLEM

The primary problem of heat islands in Monterrey is the significant rise in urban temperatures compared to rural areas, often up to 7°C higher. This leads to increased energy consumption for cooling, worsened air quality due to higher ozone levels, and greater health risks like heat stroke and respiratory issues. Additionally, it exacerbates social inequalities, as low-income areas are more vulnerable to extreme heat, and stresses local resources like water, already limited in the region. Overall, it amplifies environmental and public health challenges in the city.

Public transportation is a crucial instrument in order to prevent and eliminate heat islands.

Transportation for students.

Currently there are some proposals in action like “Ruta tec” which consist in busses taking students from the campus to different parts of monterrey, nevertheless this is very expensive for some students, that is why there are approximately 25,000 students and professors that use their own car to move from tec to other places.

Urban heat islands can elevate city temperatures by up to 7°C (12.6°F) compared to surrounding rural areas.Monterrey’s temperatures can reach 40°C (104°F) during the summer, with UHI amplifying the heat, making it more uncomfortable for residents and raising health risks.

INCREASED TEMPERATURES

Extreme heat exacerbated by UHI increases the risk of heat-related illnesses such as heat stroke and dehydration. Vulnerable populations, including the elderly, children, and those with pre-existing conditions, are particularly at risk.Monterrey’s hospitals have recorded a rise in heat-related emergencies during heat waves, which are becoming more frequent and intense due to UHI.

HEALTH

Increased temperatures lead to higher electricity demand, especially for air conditioning. Monterrey, with its hot summers, already experiences higher energy demands, which can spike by 10%–20% due to UHI.The city is prone to energy grid strain, which can result in rolling blackouts, exacerbating heat stress during critical periods.

Economic impacts

  • The ncreased energy consumption for cooling, coupled with potential blackouts, raises operational costs for businesses and industries. This can reduce productivity, particularly in sectors reliant on continuous energy supply.
  • Heat can also affect outdoor workers, such as those in construction, reducing efficiency and potentially causing delays in projects. Lost productivity in Monterrey's industries due to heat-related absenteeism costs millions annually.

  • Elevated temperatures contribute to higher evaporation rates from reservoirs, which exacerbates Monterrey’s already critical water shortage. In recent years, the city has faced severe water rationing.
  • Water demand also rises as people try to stay cool, further straining the city’s already limited resources. Monterrey’s reservoirs have experienced drops as high as 40% in capacity during peak summer months, intensifying competition for water.

urban water stress

  • Urban heat islands contribute to habitat loss for local wildlife as natural landscapes are replaced with heat-retaining surfaces such as asphalt and concrete. The loss of vegetation further increases UHI intensity in Monterrey.
  • Native plants and animals, already stressed by Monterrey’s arid climate, may struggle to adapt to the hotter urban environment, leading to declines in local biodiversity.

Deteriorating Air Quality

A direct impact of Monterrey's urban heat island effect is the worsening of air quality. Higher temperatures accelerate the formation of ground-level ozone, a key pollutant in smog. This compounds Monterrey’s existing air pollution problems, particularly from industrial activities and vehicle emissions. Elevated ozone levels contribute to respiratory issues such as asthma, bronchitis, and other lung diseases. Monterrey, already facing high particulate matter (PM2.5) levels, sees a significant increase in air pollution during heat waves, directly impacting public health, especially for vulnerable groups like children and the elderly.

Some of the measures that have provision for saving the future generations from the consequences of UHI effects include the creation of larger parks and urban forests to provide shade, cool air through evapotranspiration as well as limiting heat absorption from surfaces. Also create differents ways to difusion (Flyers on social media, phisical flyers paste on the now existing green spaces of the Distrito Tec, etc.) of the actual strategys stablished on the "Partial urban development program of the Distrito Tec" on the point 10.3.7. "Estrategias en materia del medio ambiente".

Manteinance and creation of new green spaces in Distrito Tec

Production Plants and Industries in Monterrey

Monterrey is one of Mexico's most industrialized cities, with a GDP of $159 billion MXN (approx. $7.8 billion USD). The high concentration of factories, such as steel production and cement plants (e.g., Cemex, ALFA, VITRO, etc.), generates significant heat through industrial processes. Contribution to Heat Island: Industrial facilities emit large quantities of heat, both from direct operations and machinery, contributing to localized increases in temperature.its impermeable surface has a average annual rate above 2%.

FINAL PRODUCT

The final product is divided in two phases, the first one is the creation of a flyer in which the students and residents of distrito tec know the value of green spaces, this with the intention that it generates in them a feeling of care and conscience, the second part is the construction of a cycle path from the campus to the near leaving zones, like “parque tecnológico”, “la roma”, “torres tec”, nuevo sur, in this cycle path there will be free bikes for tec de monterrey students, this with the intention to reduce the use of transportation.
