Climate Change/Cities and Urbanization – Heatwaves: How can cities adapt to rising temperatures? (Laurie Goering, Zoe Lieberman, Thomson Reuters Foundation, WEF)

July 2, 2021

Cities in the U.S. Pacific Northwest and Canada have record temperatures, which are more than 15 degrees Celsius above normal summer highs.
Typically, cooler cities face the greatest risk from heatwaves, because they don’t have infrastructure such as air-conditioning to support citizens.
A 2020 study by climate scientists has found that heat risks will hit 3.5 billion people by mid-century.
Cities such as Athens in Greece have discovered various coping strategies, which could be beneficial to less experienced cities.
