Aug 25, 2021

The IPCC AR6 states that it is virtually certain that hot extremes (including heatwaves) have become more frequent and more intense across most land regions. With the forecast of increased frequency and intensity of heatwaves due to climate change in the future, the heat stress action plans are key to city adaptation strategies. This master class is an introduction to design Climate Adaptive Heat Action Plans which will enable the cities to efficiently prepare, mitigate and adapt to the heat stress-induced by climate change. The South Asia Heat Health Information Network (SAHHIN) is pleased to invite you to its upcoming Global Master Class on ‘Climate Adaptive Heat Action Plans’ by expert Mr. Rohit Magotra, Deputy Director, IRADe.
This masterclass will provide an understanding of Heat Action Plan features, along with identification and mapping of heat hot spots/urban heat islands and developing heat adaptation strategies for managing heat stress for cities.

November 10, 17, & 24, 2020 10:00-11:30 EST (Session A) or 16:00-17:30 EST (Session B) The rapid growth of urban populations, the urban heat island (UHI) effect, and a potential increase in the frequency and duration of heat waves due to climate change, raise a series of issues about the increased health risks of sensitive urban populations to extreme heat and the effective means of mitigating impacts of heat waves. According to the US EPA, urban heat islands affect energy consumption, elevate greenhouse gas emissions, and impair water quality by increasing the temperature of urban water runoff. This will be ARSET's first training on UHI and will be in collaboration with the  National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS)  and the  lol竞猜最新版投注APP v10.7 (GHHIN) . This training will address the use of remote sensing in determining where "hot spots" of land surface temperature are located in urban areas, why these areas are experiencing increased temperature, which populations are most vulnerable, and ways to mitigate the effects through adaptive land use planning.

Oct 20, 2020

The public lecture is scheduled to start at 7 PM EDT (doors open 6PM) followed by Q&A and virtual poster hall reception. About the Lecture: Extreme heat is deadlier than all other U.S. weather-related hazards combined, with risks increasing due to racial, social, and economic inequality, climate change, and increased development, which exacerbates the urban heat island effect. During this summer’s record-breaking temperatures, heat-health was at the forefront of the national conversation on climate risk, intersecting with and compounding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its related economic and energy pressures. While research and modeling continue to advance understanding of the characteristics of heat in cities, translating this research into sustainability and resiliency policy, practice, and governance remains a challenge. NYC's experience makes a case for developing actionable science for decision making and the public interest and intentionally using health and climate data to achieve climate equity goals. About the Speaker: Kizzy Charles-Guzman is a Deputy Director at the New York City (NYC) Mayor’s Office of Sustainability where she leads the social and environmental policy team. For over a decade, she has engaged in citywide sustainability and resiliency planning efforts to ensure that social, public health and environmental justice priorities are integrated into climate action agendas and environmental policies. She led the development of Cool Neighborhoods NYC, the City’s first comprehensive strategy to address the impacts of rising temperatures and heat waves, and other equity-focused initiatives that ensure that NYC residents are ready to withstand and emerge stronger from the impacts of climate change. Kizzy also served as the Deputy Director for Social Resiliency at the NYC Mayor’s Office of Resiliency, and as Director of the Climate Change and Public Health Program at the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, developing and implementing effective initiatives that support and promote NYC's environmental health. She received the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Environmental Quality Award, and a Champion of Change Award from the U.S. White House in recognition of her work. She is a graduate of Carleton College and the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. She also teaches at New York University.
