Denver is proactively addressing rising temperatures by providing grants to local organizations, aimed at increasing access to air conditioning for communities during extreme heat. The Denver Climate Office emphasizes the growing concern of record-breaking heat, anticipating more frequent occurrences in the future. This initiative is part of a larger strategy to mitigate climate change effects and ensure cooling resources are available during heat waves. The grants will support the creation of cooling centers, distribution of air conditioning units to vulnerable populations, and heat safety education.
