Hi anthony. Okay, welcome to the string, did i . As i mentioned that i used to be aware of the full, acosta. Yeah. I know once or twice when i was black in the day, full costing was uh, i would often talk about one of when she all have into effect. And thats what a c t relates much more kate than the areas around it. And thats because we, as people, we create a lot of cant use machinery, the buildings exemption as well. That is up and all into effect in the next 30 years about a 1000 cities that i expect to, to experience extremely key ways. Were going to find out why and then what we do about in this edition of the screen. We start with, if the goodman, who has a very good question, if a so whats causing extreme heat and cities around the world and why is that worsening . Well, we know that we have a change in climate, but in addition to this, we also have made modifications to the urban environment. We have buildings and roads and parking lots, and those all absorb heat during the day and release it at night. We also have a lack of trees and other vegetation that would otherwise provide shade and evaporative cooling. And finally, we producer on heat and cities, we have air conditioners, cars, and other engines and machinery which generate heat and increase the temperature. We also use more of that air conditioning when its hot out. So we contribute to the problem by releasing more Climate Change in emissions into the atmosphere. Were discussing a stream heat in cities. What would you like to add to our conversation . It can be in our conversation, we might see it in the comments section on youtube. So joining us to discuss this issue, feel free town, see what the on the cities chief need of a set. Eugenia called both for new deals from the daily india, the chat as i looked at by a fellow at the center of a policy research. And also joining us. We have christina with the bro. Shes a chief heat officer santiago, and she like hello, welcome everybody. This is a tough subject to talk about because a lot of people who dont realize how incredibly important is its a life and death situation for many of us around the world. A, you, genius festival, a chief st officer. What did they do . That to job title, i think you sent me an 1st of all, thats the question i get asked all the time. What was the chief because he said, and what do you do . Well, my role is a local role and the chief in the role is sad to been in the shape that is driven by the hash brown Resilience Center and the atlantic into a pattern issue with the team. And because of the challenges that exist facing in terms of extreme keys. And so my role is to work with local media and a National Government to ensure that we find an implemented solution that and locally lead to ensure that we make gay and help the most one will be the next the size to adapt to extreme priscilla. Thats the rope. Yeah. Cause any of the, in a very similar row and the other side of the well from where the genia is what keeps you up at night . What is your biggest, biggest, biggest challenge as well . Its the 1st of all with thank you for coming me. Im 1st of all is to ensure to have the agenda in place to to connect with the 30 piece and an old in the Decision Makers in order to actually implement the extend keep agenda. Its like, i feel like if we dont like act today we, its impossible to, to insure like a future for our 2 arisen the future. So its a really are dom agenda and im like, im doing the weve it other is is he to like go gene . Yeah, we met for us. Its all female. So you toasting like 7 see 88 series now is has been said to wait for 22 to live from each other to in their best practices, things like that. So its a great opportunity to describe this role. Lets talk about st issue. And if i practical, i added, so can you give us an example from india literally from the past month for so which stream sheet has been deadly . You know, thanks for having me find me. Um yeah, weve actually had a couple of incidents in the last few weeks alone. Um there was an incident in one of the suburbs and them by that 13 people die at a job doing a social gathering. And this is actually on the 1st tends to be saw a lot, a loss of life exclusively due to heat attribute at the heat. And just yesterday again, we saw a type of a woman who was 9 months pregnant walking, looking for the hospital and had to walk about 70 kilometers and died in the process. So these are, may tragic story, isnt affect the people that im most wonder about doing them off on the people who have absolutely no protection to he. And im just looking at a tweet and a series of tweets about how heat ways are increasing in chalet stops. Sometimes can be a little bit like okay, another stop, but its changed. The weather has changed. I think has changed so much. Christina, can you give us an example of how much to change and how, what have you noticed in the past decade . Oh side. Yes, actually thats sweet. It was because we had the 7, hed waive up a year and we are in the full, were not supposed to have these type of heat. We have like the a couple of days ago, which was the 29th, the it tonight in degrees celsius. And thats a lot for a, a, b, c, some of what weve seen the cycle score, of course, limited changing, but then the last 20 years, we have for example, the 1st, the last 20 years, we have a 45 k to wait. And the last decade we doubled up and we have 84. So its like increasing rapidly and people is feeling it is about in not only the extreme temperatures, but also the minimums have been racing on the list of the heat waves are being increasing as well. So we have really, really low heat waves. Weve really concerning temperature. So of course, if we have the data, but also people are still in need these days when they start panicking. Christina, its when she said that was the my reaction is a when do you start panicking . I would say today like right now yesterday ill show you because i think thats thats our goal. We do team and the other is the totals. Hes about it telling people like when they say to miss heath, im dying, im dying to pieces. These kids is too much actually, thats a fact that might happen. If you dont take missions. Yeah. Nobody has to die from explain. Keep this so easy to protect people only with drinking water. They dressed, im sticking shape. So its actually a kind of, i me see the soft, the to, to address. I mean, the, the only thing we need to do. So now the only about one of the things we need to do is actually inform people about this. And of course and implement the rest of the information is key here. Yeah, sure. Can i the i think so. You can start searching as you go 2nd. Got it. Thank you. Sorry. Sorry about that, you know, but, um, no, i just wanna add like, you know, 7 people have thats quite inside the book. Its, its so psyche how similar this story in india in terms of like on breaking teeth with um, you know, describing was the hottest on like, or last year we had the heart this much on blackboard loss, you know, 5 or 10 percent of india is week drop just as of the water, new clean was kicking off and so, and they had to cut off its beat exports and that led to a global spike and wheat and its a band in the phenomenon, right . So 3 fourths of the countries geographically was hit by we see we have at some point to the other last year. So its just striking how, you know, its south asia and south america, but its, its so incredibly similar in terms of like the diet effects. So heterogeneous, so its almost the same. Its almost to the same, a cdn that we having here in town. And the past the week has been very sweet to go for the rest of them. And the sound is weve been a few in then intense and for a long sheets way. Over the past 20 years, weve seen the, the population of us in the band and business as a result for the nice nation, but also a combination of climate factors. Majority of the people are leaving in a row in funding and whats the federal demand . And weve seen extreme, shes badly affecting the quote you will step to leaving deep need into cups failure and you know, low income level. And so a lot of people are moving into the city and the way dramatically that the town is built. Its beautiful, but also challenge because its located and surrounded around hills and, and valley, so as to see, to expand. We experience mac, the deforestation of the hillside, but also the im, are you next to the defense and so that is net to several kind made one the. Ringback searches landslide and most slides in 2017, a 1000 people lost their lives in a single day in the 3000 most the homes and the single day. And the problem that we have in sit down when compared to other teaching. When you look at the, the temperatures, its around the, the highest, the maximum temperatures around 35. 00 degrees celsius. When you compare that to julio india, you will say, oh, temperature is a low, but the build up environment and the context within the sound is what makes its way to go. So what use and what do we use to temperatures . Ok. A temperature in one part of the world will be feeling was feel quite cold and another part of the world say school. So what are you used to . What is your environment like using help post . Remember . Because we always have getting some feedback from our audience who are watching online on youtube. Cities where a being mentioned job pub, in india, communities in a rom morocco, a g, egypt, and saudi arabia right there. Oh, experiencing extreme heat. But what i love about, i guess today on this topic is no one needs to die because of extreme heat in cities. There are so many ways to counteract it. And to create shade, i want to take you to somewhere between and knows this very well and its, its become a really great phrase, free trial tree town and see what he does have a look. This is what the math, a freetown has to say about this project. Become a tree. Hes obviously some official from a 1000000 trees over to a lot of sampling trees for growing which means communities are involved, which means were tracking them. We trees are monitoring that grow and live in new life to hillside, to mangroves, to 4th of areas. A 1000000 cheese will not fix plenty to choose, but it will reduce flooding lines lines. You will ensure that we bring bio diversity into our cities. Still ensure the demand areas where all fishes are small are restored. It will really make a significant every single one of the guest annoying trees tray to the onset, including joanna frank, to joins is an extra voice in our conversation. So weve heard about the problems, and the degree is the extreme temperatures around many cities in the world. And you want us as well. Okay. This is what we need to do about it is yes of every year, High Temperatures account for more than 350000 deaths globally. And further pose a threat to health by increasing the likelihood of extreme weather, poor quality flooding, and damage to valuable infrastructure. All of these risk factors have a measurable impact on our health. And the health of our community is, however, one effective strategy that we can only use within us it is, is to plant more street trees. Dense tree canopy is a valuable defense against rising temperatures and could prevent up to a 3rd of those hit heat related death. However, we need to act quickly because we are losing 36000000 trees. Yeah. All right, using it very briefly explain why tree is the all set because if youre prompting a Little Something like this, that is not going to help. Right . And you cant just plant and leave it. Thats it. Its 2 or 3 decades was of attention for that tree for it to be to be able to save us, which is a cause that time span when asked city is not going to be extremely hot. So whats the point of a little tree . Hows that going out . The truth has a lot to do. An environmental space of all the very existence depends on trees. We give out the c o 2 and im reading the oxygen and oxygen is coming from the training. They help protect the environment. So 1st of all, in terms of a Tree Planting strategy, the reason why weve been very successful is because we are deliberates. We are deliberate in tempting but also deliberate in royce and ensuring that we tracking the trees the system every teach. Yes, we know that going to take a while to get the, the effect that we need, the desired results, the shading that we need from trees. But they play a very big role in terms of stabilizing the civilized and, and to break the b. I the what Christina Scott on judge joining the agreement. Sorry i, i get is excited. It like a listening or do you me because when i 1st heard about in the town to town project program, actually i copy. We copy, we did the same thing is the same because we dont have the same type like deadline of course. But we, we decide to go with the big piece as well. So we are punting, its leasing something. Yeah. Well, but theyre not, i mean, is it weighed more or less than that, but when were doing the talent a blessing get on the streets like when it, where people are going to need them to shop in the next. If it is a 100 years of people go to work and recreate. So its so silence because were not putting them in parks, we just might be easier. Were putting them on where he used to be cement or used to be like our sidewalk. So its expensive, its tricky, but we were convinced that we need to do that in order to it to, to have the its a weight of life for the, for the future. I think just wondering as yeah, go ahead. Share your thoughts with that. So yeah, yeah, just just quickly jump in on the tree point um, uh, one of the things, a notices and cities in the global. So ill definitely take that to use and then to is it a massive in the, in equities when it comes to shade light. So usually below the engine. Ready costs neighborhoods will be drenched and call increase and have absolutely no shade. And those are the people that need it the most. And so they, theres active Decision Making that governments need to do about where to invest these trees. Even if you only see, start seeing results and then 20 years, like you said, im just going to go to youtube just briefly because were getting suggestions from our audience who are watching on youtube. So brent says painting surfaces whites break. Did you see . Well, i have lined up to share, but i would, its, well, we just on the same wavelength here because Painting Services white really helps. Im going to take it to a project in new delhi. Im, you can hear a little bit more about it because we off so many ways of counter acting extremely is in cities pacing areas. One is one of them. How to look the m s c capital on bad. Nobody was that a. Com got a but those misery i may call me. Itd be so much the bank of guy letting me i knew i knew the band they gave and as they wont, they need the money to unload the the, the me lets see. Theyve been nancy and the bus school. Edwin. Am im giving a fence a good i make a man of this. The talk is a after getting me the, the, the of the happen again. Sorry, demand muslim switch. But now will be need to see that as the audi body output of those things easy to get data. Mitchell, my name passed by that kind of went in there. But how do i be that lives in a be a delay . Tell me that the modem at and im going to condense for the the spend to do with is a look back. Yeah, i need to banding it. Itd be on google. Do i really get to me . Is that the more fundamental picture this face movement . This trend has changed. St offices who are providing the areas to to be more prone to heat waves. India is one of those regions, a country that will be product to more heat ways, but you dont have a single chief heat officer. Thats the problem i take as an yeah, so its actually great to be in this conversation and, and show a lot of what she sees officers are doing. Ive heard all the plans of instituting t c t positions, but its of a new governance phenomenal. Right . Its, its only a couple of years or so, but um she usually promising it looks like because to have one. Busy and manage the entire portfolio which stretches across so many different departments on the big problems we find in most indian governments context is it is no single entity thats responsible for sheet, like the impacts on agriculture, the impacts on what the impacts on the base environment. And all of these things made they belong to complete a different department. So in a minute can useful to have all of this going situated in one 4th full. Im going to share some of christina outlook. Christina, this is your santiago heat protocol here, explaining what is going on in the time that looks like a really sick brochure. And also talking about some of the methods and processes of, of reducing the heat is santiago. This comes from the actually acknowledging that there is going to be a problem that the is a problem already. And so you need buying from some local government from federal government as well. Otherwise, what the people do is they cant do things by themselves. Can may of course of course, actually im happy that in we, we have our 1st protocol, we launch onto the last december and the so its a simple one. But they did was to install the, the, the importance of having a protocol to embrace the extension to agenda. And im so happy and i makes my job easier that i have to support if i were reaching a governor level a because coming actually either sup support is key in addressing Climate Change unexplained heat. So because you need to negotiate with other agencies to need to in communicate to the public. And then the mr says you are taking investments, a lot of the technical expertise, but also the political support. So we have that. And im, we have a workforce the within the 1st year of aware and says, i begin my see to, oh, so im happy to get that easy. Im oh, yes, go ahead. Go ahead. Sorry. But i know i just want to add one important point about this is, you know, with the protocols and so many different actions and solutions, googles trees and so on. All of it requires money. And we sort of looked across, hes actually the lines of cost of was hed action plans in india. And one thing we sort of consistently noticed is that he funding is a scarcely available because its such a new area of Public Policy as only now getting attention to the media to seek players. And so these a 2 Public Communications and carpets. And so thats just one area of focus for the next 4 or 510 years, i suspect to you. Now, what do you want me to be . Let me just bring in one more voice here. And this is as the voice of lawrence let us by just a little bit earlier, hes studying at the university of nairobi, but hes in nigeria and, and he listed some of the major issues that nigeria has. And i know eugene. Yeah. One of the ways that you were case, what can we do to get that . Have a nice thing to notice and immediately off the back. What can we do to get his thoughts . We see that within the country to the the express increased frequency and intensity of sheets with these lovely effects, human health, hunger, cultural in many communities across the country is headquartered. Differentiates related to an es is such as true stress dehydration, agitation, accession, and also discomfort recorded, particularly among children and dues leaving on the line health conditions, muscle, extreme heat. Sure things for to see curious fluid in the country as close alliance due to High Temperature virginia. Go ahead. What can we do together . And so as you said, it needs to be a collective effort. We need to Work Together and Community Part of the problem, the more the part of the solution. So as were working together to be plans, we also need to ensure that we bring in the communities along. We need to ensure that we increase awareness. Im around why he, why this is happening, what are the week, and what can we do together to protect the environment. But also at the national level, we need to be deliberate in driving Sustainable Solutions across the same thing. We need to ensure that to me, uh, implementing policies in, in, in 4th and not that will ensure assistant ability and at the global level as like when he gets said, we need to ensure that it is then, then im available to do all the beautiful work and signing that me as weve done in different spaces. I want to tell you guess that your conversation has inspired a lot of ideas from out audience as well, about posting locals about what should be constructed and how it should be constructed. Buildings designed with coverings and shade as well. And also remembering that most in churches and temples are often places where you cannot to get with spikes from the heat volta and shade as well. Thank you, christina, at the chug jania as well for coming to our show talking about the climate crisis, but also bringing sliding tea of solutions as well.
