Green roofs can prevent water pollution by reducing the amount of storm water entering sewer systems by slowing it down and filtering it; lower energy use and energy costs; lowering air temperatures to mitigate the urban heat - island effect; clean and oxygenate the air; add biodiversity; mitigate noise; suppress fire; and extend the lifespan of the roof.
The IPCC found that: Over the Northern Hemisphere land areas where urban heat islands are most apparent, both the trends of lower - tropospheric temperature and surface air temperature show no significant differences.
