Sara Meerow presenting on heat governance

Spent the last two days at NCAR in beautiful Boulder, CO for a NSF extreme heat workshop with fellow heat scholars and inspiring early career academics. Here's @sarameerow.bsky.social presenting our heat governance work! #extremeheat #heatgovernance #heatresilience

International Heat Health Experts Help Shape United Nations’ Call to Action on Extreme Heat During Four Hottest Days on Earth

I am honored to have participated in shaping the UN Secretary General's call to action on extreme heat during our Global Heat Health Information Network Management Committee meeting in Singapore! udallcenter.arizona.edu/news/interna... #heatgovernance #extremeheat #heatresilience

These are generalizable approaches that researchers and practitioners everywhere can use to identify opportunities for improved heat resilience planning. #heatplanning #heatgovernance

Deploy heat officers, policies and metrics Cities need heat governance to plan for extreme temperatures and protect those most at risk. Cities need heat governance to plan for extreme temperatures and protect those most at risk.

While #heatgovernance has advanced quickly in a few places in the U.S. since we wrote our Nature Magazine call to action in 2021, most states and communities are still not prepared for #extremeheat events like the one occurring now in the Midwest and Northeast. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I am also joined by colleagues at the @uarizona.bsky.social Udall Center who will support the new center's efforts in partnering with tribal communities on heat resilience. #heatresilience #extremeheat #heatpolicy #heatgovernance
