How To Tackle Extreme Heat

Resilience: The Global Adaptation Podcast

In this episode of RESILIENCE, we look at the growing threat of extreme heat. What does it feel like to live in a city that regularly hits 50°C? How do we adapt when our traditional air-conditioning systems pump out even more planet-heating gases? We explore some bold insights with Professor Toby Peters, a global expert in sustainable cooling, and Shahzad Qureshi, the visionary behind the Urban Forest movement in Pakistan.
