Boston business-backed advocacy group A Better City released a new report Thursday morning highlighting how private real estate – often an overlooked area – can help tone down the effects of extreme heat that will visit Boston as the climate warms.

Addressing the impacts of climate change will require a serious commitment from all levels of government throughout the world, but the action plans for metropolitan Boston must be homegrown.
