Phoenix is hiring a "Chief Heat Officer," in response to rising heat related deaths, which the city blames on climate change. The truth is most of those dying are homeless or drug addicts with underlying health conditions, people already in poor health. As far as Phoenix's heat, that is due, not to climate change but the city's massive growth and related increased Urban Heat Island effect. Responding to homelessness and drug use will do far more to prevent premature deaths in Phoenix than efforts to fight climate change or control the weather.

Stressing the need for awareness, Global Chief Heat Officer Eleni Myrivili leads the response to extreme heat that threatens lives and livelihoods worldwide. Here's what we talk about in this episode: Discovery, Environment, Future, Global issues, Nature, Science, Sustainability, Technology

VISTA Award Presentation- Evaluation of Plant Varieties for Green Roofs in South Florida  Description  Green roofs are innovative roofing systems that support plant growth on buildings. They replace traditional roofing materials with a layer of soil for vegetation, offering various benefits such as mitigating the heat island effect, reducing stormwater runoff and sequestering carbon. However, implementing green roofs in the challenging climate of Miami and South Florida is a formidable task due to high humidity, extreme heat, desiccating winds, and hurricanes. The urgency is underscored by Miami's ranking as the third-worst Urban Heat Island Effect city in the US. The intensity of the problem is evident by the recent appointment of the world's first Chief Heat Officer for Miami-Dade County, underlining the severity of Miami's Urban Heat Island Effect. This problem affects residents, and addressing it through greening the city, including green roofs, is crucial. This project aims to recommend resilient plant species for South Florida green roofs, focusing on their carbon sequestration capabilities and reducing the urban heat island effect. This initiative's significance lies in mitigating climate change effects, fostering sustainable urban ecosystems, reducing carbon footprints, enhancing biodiversity, and improving urban well-being. Recognizing the urgent need for climate solutions, the project seeks to provide actionable insights for addressing South Florida's pressing climate issues.  Speakers  Ivan Oyege, Florida International University , Ph.D. Candidate  Priyanka Belbase, Florida International University, Graduate Teaching Assistant  Moses Kiwanuka, Florida International University, Graduate Teaching Assistant  Jordan Prats, Florida International University , Ph.D Candidate

In the midst of Miami's hottest ever summer, House on Fire host Dania Toledo talks to the city's—and the world's—first Chief Heat Officer, Jane Gilbert. They discuss the importance of heat index, tree canopy, the urban heat island effect, and why heat is a "huge social justice issue."

All across the globe, temperatures are rising, and thanks to the most recent report published by the International Panel on Climate Change and recent U.N. projections, we know that even if we do make sweeping cuts to emissions, we're still on course for a catastrophic temperature rise of 2.7 degrees Celsius by the year 2100. That means, the record-breaking floods, droughts, storms, wildfires, and heatwaves we're currently seeing, or for many of us, directly experiencing, are just the beginning. Global warming is not just some distant thing to worry about in the future — it's here. Right now. Although cataclysmic events like hurricanes and wildfires tend to monopolize most of the headlines on climate change, as paltry as it is to begin with, climate news coverage hardly ever focuses on the less flashy impacts. Things like heatwaves, for example, might draw some attention if they're record-shattering — but oftentimes, the impacts of long-lasting higher temperatures are not covered in any depth by mainstream news outlets. In this episode of The Response, we're going to focus on an issue that isn't talked about hardly enough: energy poverty. When temperatures rise to the point where they become dangerous, what happens to people who can't escape the heat? As temperatures continue to soar and extreme heatwaves become the norm, a lack of resources to stay cool — so, having access to things like air conditioning, for example, — is a huge issue across the world. This is especially true in southern Europe, a region that experienced a series of record-breaking, climate-fueled heatwaves this past summer.

Extreme heat kills more people per year than any other climate disaster. It preys on the poor, exacerbates racial inequalities, and there is a growing body of evidence that shows women and girls are increasingly susceptible to heat-health effects. Globally, women and girls represent 80% of climate refugees. They are more likely to be displaced, suffer violence and die in natural disasters. As temperatures rise, children's test scores decrease, gender violence increases, and miscarriage rates go up. But preventing heat deaths is possible. From Europe to Africa, Chief Heat Officers throughout the world are implementing projects to make cities more climate-adaptive.  Guests: Kathy Baughman McLeod, Director, Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center; Senior VP, Atlantic Council  Eleni Myrivili, Global Chief Heat Officer, UN Habitat Eugenia Kargbo, Chief Heat Officer, Freetown, Sierra Leone  Freelance piece from Hellen Kabahukya on mud wattle construction in Uganda For show notes and related links, visit https://www.climateone.org/watch-and-listen/podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

At their best, cities can be a climate solution: densely packed places with good public transport, effective health care, and plenty for everyone to do. Combined with clean energy, they become carbon-efficient centers. But cities can also be a climate disaster: Low levels of vegetation, big concrete buildings, high traffic and poor airflow create the perfect conditions for extreme heat waves. As cities grow and an ever greater percentage of the population become urban dwellers, the impacts of these heat events will be felt by more and more people.  This week on Zero, Akshat Rathi talks with Global Chief Heat Officer Eleni Myrivili, about how cities can be made more resilient to heat, and why aircon is not a solution we can rely on.

Eugenia Kargbo is Africa's first Chief Heat Officer. She was appointed by the government of Sierra Leone, and is responsible for helping people who are struggling from the effects of extreme heat and ‘burning, suffocating sunshine'. Sierra Leone isn't among Africa's warmest countries. Mali is thought to be the hottest country on the continent…and in the world. But Sierra Leone has been experiencing higher and higher temperatures in recent years. And Eugenia says it is a much less comfortable place to live today than when she was growing up. So, what solutions does she have for the heat in Sierra Leone? And could these be ideas that help people across Africa? #AfricaDaily

Miami is so renowned for its warm weather that its professional basketball team is the Miami Heat. But extreme heat can be life-threatening, even in cities like Miami that are used to high temperatures. And within cities, lower-income and minority neighborhoods feel the effects of extreme heat more acutely due to a lack of shade and green spaces. What can be done to protect vulnerable communities from extreme heat? The world's first chief heat officer, Jane Gilbert, who leads Miami-Dade County's efforts to deal with extreme heat, is working on the answers. She recently spoke with Issues editor Jason Lloyd about the need for win-win solutions (more air conditioning alone can't solve the problem), the difficulties of planting trees on busy streets, and engaging with citizens on solutions for keeping communities safe in a warmer future.

As Southern California faces blistering heat, we're joined by Los Angeles Chief Heat Officer Marta Segura, who is one of just three in the country. Segura opens up about how her parents' struggle with heat-related illness informed her approach to this new and critical role, and she shares her vision for the job. Plus, LA County Supervisor Kathryn Barger on why we cannot let ourselves think this week was just a weird, warm fluke.

Marta Segura is working with the city to develop a plan to reduce heat-related hospitalizations and deaths. Learn more at https://www.yaleclimateconnections.org/ 

Recently CBS, NBC, CNN covered the significance of cities hiring “Chief Heat Officers”. The first in the Nation was Phoenix. Prior to all the national attention we had a chance to interview David Hondula for this podcast. Weather is an awe-inspiring phenomenon that captures the attention of everyone at some point in their lives, but it's also powerful and can be deadly as well. When we think of life-threatening weather, hurricanes, severe storms, and flooding come to mind first, but did you know extreme heat is one of the leading killers when it comes to weather-related fatalities? The city of Phoenix, Arizona is keenly aware of this, ranking near the top for hottest cities in the United States. This is also one of the reasons why the city became the first in the nation to have a publicly funded office for heat response and mitigation.

Athens is the hottest capital city in mainland Europe and temperatures continue to rise. That's why Eleni Myrivili was appointed as the city's – and continent's – first chief heat officer last summer. We meet her on Philoppapou hill to hear about how urban design can help to build resilience against rising temperatures.

Episode 117 -    Interview with Charlie Backer, Chief Heat OfficerCharlie Backer, who resides in the St. Louis, MO area, is the founder of “HOT CHARLIE'S”. In August of 2017, he was craving something that had both heat and flavor, so he launched his first product that immediately received raving reviews. The Ghost Pepper sauce was first, and the other Hot Charlie's sauces are unique in that they use real garlic, and they focus on the flavor of the peppers, not the heat. Both the Original and the Ghost Pepper are thicker sauces, and you can really taste the ingredients. In the summer of 2021 Charlie released a fan-favorite line of frozen pizzas – Spicy Chicken Bacon Ranch and Spicy Meat Lovers. (20% discount code is shown below)He touts himself as being a passionate voice who's set on increasing the awareness of the freedom found in sobriety. Charlie is married and has two wonderful children. His lifelong goal is “to become better than I was the day before”.Charlie's sober date is March 20, 2017. After years of alcohol abuse, that finally culminated in crashing his car and spending the night in a justice center. He then began the journey of getting sober. Throughout his early days of sobriety, he struggled with boredom, and that's primarily what led him to launch the hot sauce company. He is a strong advocate of the “one day at a time” theme. Prior to engaging in a 12-step program, he had tried numerous times in the past to become sober, only to fall back into drinking. Eventually, through the grace of God, he was able to become sober. Through the assistance of an extremely supportive wife, close friends and family, and weekly meetings with a psychologist, as well as frequent meetings with a spiritual director, he was able to chart a path to sobriety, and live it.Charlie wants to share his story and is passionate about helping others find sobriety – one step at a time.The Hot Charlies website is: https://hotcharlies.com Our audience members are offered a 20% discount when using the code: CR20 at checkoutLinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/charliebacker Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/itscharliebacker TikTok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@charliebacker 

It's June! That means temperatures are rising around the northern hemisphere as we enter the summer months. This year we held the first ever, Heat Action Day, on June 14th, 2022, with over 50 heat flashmobs performed in cities and towns around the world to raise awareness of heat risks and simple actions to #BeatTheHeat. In this episode, we hear from IFRC President Rocca, as well as representatives from the Bangladesh Red Crescent, Norwegian Red Cross and even the Chief Heat Officer from Athens, Greece about why we should care about heat risks and how we can address them.  References and supplemental material:The Heat Action Day  The Heat Tool KitCompilation of flashmobs to #BeatTheHeatThe intro music is Welcome to the Show, and the background music is Beauty Flow, both by Kevin MacLeod and is used under a creative commons license.

Of all extreme weather phenomenon, heatwaves and extreme heat events are the most scientifically correlated to climate change; and also the most deadly. Research conducted by the World Weather Attribution Group found that the Pacific Northwest heatwave of June 2021 would have been virtually impossible absent the effects of global warming. Additionally, studies have shown that the U.S. stands to lose up to $500 billion per year as a result of lost "workability" due to the impacts of extreme heat. Enter Eleni Myrivili. Appointed last year as the first Chief Heat Officer for the city of Athens, Greece, the first such role on the European continent, Ms. Myrivili is working to raise awareness of the impacts of extreme heat, in addition to implementing adaptive strategies to ensure that Athens and other cities around the world can build resilience to the impacts of extreme heat events. In this episode we discuss:

In May 2021, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava appointed Jane Gilbert to serve as the county's first Chief Heat Officer making Jane the first Chief Heat Officer in the world! Florida residents are used to the heat, but as climate change continues, we will feel it even more. Previously, Floridians averaged approximately 7 days a year when the heat index would reach 105. By mid-century, that number is expected to rise to 88 days a year. This represents not only a health risk to many, but also has a significant economic impact. During this episode, Jane shares how they are partnering with all areas of local government to create infrastructure for heat emergencies, plant more trees, and educate the general public about their needs and rights.

Why is extreme heat the “silent killer” in climate change? Listen to Jason Mitchell discuss with Dr. Eleni Myrivili, Chief Heat Officer for the city of Athens, Greece, about what the impact of heat stress means; how cities around the world are addressing it from a policy perspective and why it's likely we'll see more of these positions and more intervention going forward. Dr. Eleni Myrivili is the Chief Heat Officer for the city of Athens, Greece. She designs, leads, and promotes heat adaptation programs that protect people at risk while building better urban environments, in Athens and beyond. From 2014 to 2019, she served as Athens' Deputy Mayor for Urban Nature and Climate Resilience pioneering multimillion-euro programs in equitable blue and green infrastructure development. She is also senior advisor and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Arsht-Rockefeller Resilience Center which she joined in the summer of 2020. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's common knowledge that Florida is one of the hottest markets in the U.S. – whether you're considering a personal lifestyle upgrade or a new environment for your business. But that influx of people and industry, coupled with the state's numerous sunny days, is a recipe for an extreme heat event and can spell disaster for an unprepared infrastructure. Host Donna DiMaggio Berger and featured guest Jane Gilbert – the world's first Chief Heat Officer – explore the dangers posed by extreme heat in highly urbanized areas and discuss how municipalities around the world are collaborating on solutions to protect both present-day and future communities.  Highlights include: How Jane's recent experience as a Chief Resiliency Officer prepared her to serve as the first-ever Chief Heat Officer and what this new role means for communities in Florida and beyond;Defining the ‘urban heat island' and how the green street vision for Miami-Dade helps reduce this;Why awareness of the risk associated with extreme heat needs to be increased and whether naming heat waves would emphasize the importance of safety during rising temperatures;How community association boards can adjust governing documents to encourage energy efficient practices – green spaces, reflective roof surfaces, upgraded A/C units, indoor/outdoor lighting choices, building weatherization, etc.;Strategies when considering how to address the disproportionate impact of heat waves on already vulnerable communities, including seniors on fixed incomes, socio-economically disadvantaged, etc.;Expansion of existing directives to ensure evacuation shelters have adequate backup power for cooling in the event of a widespread outage;The connection between extreme heat and rising sea levels, and how Florida has integrated its climate action strategies to address both;How community associations, local businesses, and incoming corporations can collaborate with Jane's office to identify ways to protect outdoor workers in the construction, tourism, trade & logistics, public safety industries; and so much more. BONUS: Donna and Jane share a little about what to expect from the county's three-year action plan, scheduled for release in May 2022 and recommend viewing the Miami-Dade County's Extreme Heat Toolkit for ways you can stay safe in South Florida. 

Jane Gilbert is the world's first Chief Heat Officer. Her task is to prepare and protect Miami's citizens for and from the heat. Extreme heat is responsible for more deaths than all other climate driven disasters in the US combined. We talk about around 12.000 death each year. By 2100, according to a study by the University of Washington, the annual toll could be close to 100.000. By then, 94% of Miami Beach would be underwater. Not a small task to manage. Jane's strategies and goals, the effectiveness of extreme heat toolkits and the new health task force. About climate resilience hubs and heat shelters. The consequences for peoples health and living standards and whether the rich are staying healthy and the poor are dying faster.

Viele Regionen in Afrika leiden unter dem Klimawandel. Die Temperaturen sind hoch und steigen weiter, das Wasser ist knapp und wird weniger. Wie wirkt sich das auf die Landwirtschaft aus? Ganz genau weiß man das nicht, denn während sich in Europa und Nordamerika Tausende Studien mit dieser Frage beschäftigen, gibt es in einigen afrikanischen Regionen keine einzige Untersuchung. Das erzählt Christoph Gornott im "Klima-Labor" von ntv. Der Agrarwissenschaftler untersucht seit einigen Jahren für das Potsdam Institut für Klimafolgenforschung (PIK) und die Universität Kassel, wie sich die Klimabedingungen in der außergewöhnlichen trockenen Sahelzone oder im extrem nassen Westafrika verändern und welche Konsequenzen das für die Ernte in den kommenden Jahrzehnten haben könnten. Europa könne "eine ganze Menge" davon lernen, sagt er. Denn speziell die südlichen Nationen müssten sich bald fragen, wie sie mit Wasserknappheit und Trockenheit umgehen und, welche alternativen Kulturen sie anbauen könnten.Sie haben Fragen an uns?

The Response is an award-winning documentary film, book, and podcast series from Shareable.net exploring how communities are building collective resilience in the wake of disasters with host Tom Llewellyn.  A clear and present danger awaits our species if we are unable to keep global temperature below the 1.5 degrees Celsius rise that climate scientists have identified as proverbial the line in the sand. Even at current levels things are looking and feeling pretty dire. But it's not all doom and gloom, significant actions are being taken at the city level in spite of the mostly disappointing (inter)national policies coming out of COP26.  On this week's episode, The Response producer Robert Raymond interviews Eleni Myrivili, the first Chief Heat Officer for the City of Athens, Greece.  Episode credits: Host and executive producer: Tom Llewellyn Series producer: Robert Raymond Theme Music: “Meet you on the other side” by Cultivate Beats Let us know what you think of the show: info@shareable.net

Eleni, or Lenio, Myrivili is currently the Chief Heat Officer of the City of Athens, Greece, and a leading European actor in the urban fight for climate resilience and adaptation. Formerly the Deputy Mayor for urban nature and resilience, she is on a mission to prepare Athens' millions of residents for the decades of scorching heat that await.Lenio was a delightful guest, and genuinely challenged my conception of a City's role in the global response to climate change. We discuss best practices in heat-proofing cities, the heatwave that torched Europe this past summer, and how to continue getting out of bed each day when facing such monumental, and frankly scary, forces.I hope you enjoy this conversation with Lenio Myrivili.Jack English: LinkedIn

On the most dramatic day yet of their advance across Afghanistan, the Taliban have captured a further four provincial capitals, including the country's third largest city, Herat. A senior adviser to the Afghan High Peace Council, says it's a disaster for the government in Kabul. Also in the programme: as Greece struggles with record high temperatures and fires, we speak to the woman appointed as the Chief Heat Officer in Athens; and the Deputy Mayor of Denver County, whose job it is to enforce Covid vaccinations for all public employees, explains the rationale for the policy.

From Monday Americans will be banned from investing in 59 Chinese companies, including technology firms like Huawei. The move aims to stop the flow of capital into defence and surveillance technology companies which the White House says will undermine security. We get analysis from Shirley Wu, a research fellow at the University of Harvard, who monitors relations between Beijing and Washington. Wildfires, record high temperatures and strong winds are sweeping parts of Greece, Turkey and Lebanon, forcing the evacuation of thousands of people; we hear from Eleni Myrivili, a former deputy mayor of Athens, who has just been appointed as the city's Chief Heat Officer. On August 12th, Zambians will vote in a national election, which comes as poverty is more widespread, the country's foreign debt has increased, the economy has suffered recession and a third wave of of Covid 19 is keeping children out of school. So what will the implications be for the economy? We speak to Paul Nyambe, founder and chief executive of Zamgoat a company that farms and produces goat meat in Lusaka.

Atene cerca un Chief Heat Officer. Seguendo le orme di Miami (Florida), la città greca ha nominato un “capo per il calore”, il cui scopo principale sarà quello di aiutare la città ad adattarsi alle temperature in aumento. È la prima città europea a creare la posizione. Nel 2018, Moody's aveva avvertito che Atene era la città europea più a rischio di calore estremo, che condiziona anche il turismo.

Avec les changements climatiques, les événements météorologiques extrêmes se font de plus en plus fréquents. A Miami, en Floride, on prend le problème au sérieux. En moyenne à Miami, le mercure dépasse déjà 40 degrés quarante jours par an... Et ces épisodes seront deux fois plus nombreux d'ici 2050, selon l'agence de presse Reuters. Pour affronter des canicules de plus en plus fréquentes, Miami a nommé une “haute responsable de la chaleur” : a chief heat manager. Une première au monde, nous apprend le site d'informations We Demain.Jane Gilbert sera chargée de gérer les conséquences des températures extrêmes, et notamment de protéger la santé des habitants. “La chaleur est le tueur n °1 de tous les impacts du changement climatique”, explique la nouvelle “madame canicule” de la ville. Elle liste des problèmes de peau, de diabète, des blessures ou des vertiges au travail. on bureau prévoit notamment des aménagements pour rafraîchir la ville. Comme une couverture végétalisée offrant un peu d'ombre aux passants.
