  1. Over the years, @SaraMeerow and I have evaluated many plans to see how well they address extreme heat. In this Global Disaster Preparedness Center project with Saeideh Sobhaninia, we explored how heat action plans are actually being implemented and asked officials about their perceived effectiveness. Check out our new report and the Heat Action Plan Implementation and Effectiveness (HAPIE) Tool we developed to help cities connect their heat goals to measurable outcomes!

    Thanks to our other team members, Halley Hughes, Maryam Shafiee Shakib, Alekzander Ryan, and Caroline Webster, for their work on the project.

  3. 📬 ICYMI: I launched Heatshed, a newsletter on how we plan for and govern extreme heat.

    Two posts so far: "What is a 'heatshed'?" and "Air conditioning is not a guarantee for heat protection," on why 90% AC adoption in the United States measures equipment rather than protection.

    Free, roughly monthly, written for people who want to address extreme heat.

  5. I started a Substack on heat planning and governance!

    "The causes of extreme heat exceed political boundaries, and the solutions to address it must span sectors and levels of government.

    That is what a “heatshed” names. It’s the physical and policy scale at which heat actually operates, and therefore the scale at which it has to be planned for and governed."

  7. 📢 This is our “heatshed” moment. Check out my new commentary with @SaraMeerow in the Journal of Urban Affairs' special issue on Extreme Heat in Cities. We argue that we are in a critical moment in history where heat mitigation, management, and governance should be an urgent priority to ensure thriving communities in the face of an overheating world.

  11. Resharing my co-authored One Earth commentary with @SaraMeerow on how cities are at the forefront of emerging heat governance. Emerging heat governance systems should integrate disciplines and sectors to holistically and equitably mitigate and manage heat through goals, data, action, evaluation, and public participation across different governance instruments and jurisdictional scales.

  19. New Q&A feature by Luke Antoniou of SmartCitiesWorld on this summer's record-breaking heat and the latest advances in addressing extreme heat: “It’s all about taking action now to protect our communities, mitigate heat-related risks, and enhance our urban environments for a more sustainable and resilient future.”

  21. Although our pre and post survey didn't find many statistically significant outcomes, players expressed that they enjoyed the game and that it helped them better understand heat planning strategies and the environmental, social, and economic tradeoffs associated with them.
