#10: Building Heatwave Resilience w/ Emma Bacon of Sweltering Cities
With our summers growing hotter and longer, we are confronting relentless heat that reshapes daily life. Heat waves have become our deadliest environmental disaster and will increasingly become more common as the planet continues to heat up.
We are joined by Emma Bacon, the founder and executive director of Sweltering Cities.
Sweltering Cities, founded in 2020, focuses on advocating for liveable and equitable communities affected by extreme heat.
Emma highlights the critical need for better housing, transportation, and urban planning to mitigate the impacts of heat waves, especially for marginalised communities.
We discuss extreme heat's physiological and societal effects, underlining the importance of cross-sector solutions, systemic changes and greater government involvement to truely address the growing risks of climate change.
