Climate Change, Heat Islands & Cooling Stations: A Comprehensive Approach to Heat Management
DATE: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2024
 

Climate change and carbon emissions are having a dramatic impact on the world and on human health, as temperatures soar and extreme weather incidents grow more common. The problem of rising temperatures presents an even greater challenge in urban areas, which typically see higher temperatures than rural areas due to the urban heat island effect. This affects people and the environment, presenting public health risks and increasing energy consumption.  

A proactive approach to planning can help address the issues of rising temperatures and create resilient, healthy communities. Introducing innovative and sustainable cooling solutions, from cooling stations and refreshment zones to trees, vegetation and more, can improve health and quality of life in urban areas, providing a place for relief from heat, social interaction and education on heat health.  

In this webinar, we’ll explore various approaches to managing the urban heat island effect. Participants will learn about the impacts of heat islands, and how to implement a range of cooling solutions for their communities.

Join us on November 6, 2024.
