7:34 am
a bunch change of into effect and that's what a c t right here is much more kate than the areas around it. and that's because we use people, we create a lot of can't use machinery, the buildings exemption as well. that is up and here are the facts in the next 30 years about a 1000 and cities that i expect to, to experience extremely key ways. we're going to find out why and then what we do about in this edition of the spring. we start with if that goodman, who has a very good question. if so what's causing extreme heat and cities around the world and why is that we're sitting? 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,
7:35 am
and other engines and machinery which generate heat and increase the temperature well. so there's more of that air conditioning when it's hot out. so we contribute to the problem by releasing more climate change in emissions into the atmosphere. we're discussing a screen here in cities. what would you like to add to our conversation? you 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 stay really on the cities chief aid of a set. eugenia called both for new deals from the daily india, the chat valid time by a fellow at the center of a policy research. and also joining us, we have christina, we the bro, she's 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 don't realize how incredibly important is it's a life and death situation for many of us around the world of eugene, a festival, a chief st officer. what did they do?
7:36 am
that's your job title. thank you. send me an 1st of all, that's a question i did ask all the time. what was the chief because he said, and what do you do? well, my role as a local role and the chief you think it's a role is sad to been in the shape that is driven by the hash resilience center and the atlantic into a path issue with the team. because of the challenges that you the facing in terms of extreme tv. 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 crystal. that's the rope. yeah. cause any other will to in a very similar role and the other side of the well from where the genia is what
7:37 am
keeps you up at night. what is your biggest, biggest, biggest challenge as well? it's the 1st of all with thank you for telling me. i'm 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 extent to keep agenda. it's like, i feel like we don't like act today we, it's impossible to, to insure like a future for our 2 the reason the future. so it's, i really urge them agenda and i'm like, i'm doing the we've a other is, is he to like go gene? yeah, we met for us. it's all female. so you're toasting like 7, cd 88 series now is has been sort of waiting for 22 to live from each other to in their best practices, things like that. so it's a great opportunity to describe this role. let's talk about st issue. and if i practical i did show,
7:38 am
can you give us an example from india literally from the past month for so which stream sheet has been? definitely yeah, thanks for having me. i mean, um yeah, we've 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 the 13 people die at a job doing um i just. ready the thing, and this is actually on the 1st times 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 as an effect. the people that i'm most wondered about to it and often the people who have absolutely no protection thinking. and i'm just looking at a tweet and
7:39 am
a series of tweets about how he ways are increasing in chalet stops. sometimes can be a little bit like okay, another spot, but it's 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 that's sweet. it was because we had the 7 he way up a year. um, we are in the full were not supposed to have these type of heat. we have like a couple of days ago. it was the 29th, the 3 night in degrees celsius. and that's a lot for a, a, b, c, some of what we've 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, the weight. and the last decade we doubled up in we have $84.00,
7:40 am
so it's like increasing rapidly and people is feeling it is about in not only the extreme temperatures, but also the minimum have been racing. and the length of the heat waves are being increasing as well. so we have really, really low heat waves. we 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, it's when she said that was the my reaction is a when do you start panicking? i would say today like right now yesterday actually because i think that's, that's our role. we do team and the other is the totals. he's about it telling people like when they say to miss keith, i'm dying, i'm dying. the business is basically just too much. actually, that's a fact that might happen. if you don't take missions. yeah. nobody has to die from
7:41 am
explain, keep is so easy to protect. people only with drinking water, they dressed, i'm sticking shape. so it's actually a kind of, i me see the soft the to, to address. i mean, the only thing we need to do. so now the only bad, 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 there you go fast regina, you go 2nd. got it. yeah, thank you. sorry. sorry about that. you know, but um, no, i just wanna add like, you know, 7 people here that's quite inside the book. it's, it's so psyche how similar this story in india in terms of like on breaking teeth with um, you know, this type of it was the hottest on like our last 2 or we had the heart this much on blackboard. last, you know, 5 or 10 percent of india is week drop just as of the water, new clean was kicking off and so,
7:42 am
and they had to cut off its beat exports. and that led to a global spike in wheat. um, and it's a band in the phenomenon, right? so 3 fourths of the countries, geographically, it was hit by, we see them at some point to the other last year. so it was just striking how, you know, it's se on south america, but it's, it's so incredibly similar in terms of like the diet effects. so heterogeneous. so it's almost the same. it's almost to the same, a cdn that we having here in town. and the past 3 weeks has been the best way to go for residents from feet down is we've been a few in synch, intense, and for a long sheets way over the past 20 years. we've seen the, the population of us in the band and businesses, the results for the nice they sion, but also a combination of climate factors. majority of the people are leaving in
7:43 am
a row in assignments and most of them are women. and we've seen extreme, she's 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 this bill, it's beautiful but also challenge because it's located and surrounded around hills and, and valley, so as to seek to expand. we experience mac, the deforestation of the hillside, but also the i'm, are you next to the defense? and so that is net to several climate vulnerability searches landslide and most slides in 2017, a 1000 people lost their lives in a single day in the 3000 um, most of the homes and the single day. and the problem that we have in sit down when
7:44 am
compared to other teaching. when you look at the, the temperatures, it's around the, the highest, the maximum temperatures around $35.00 degrees celsius. when you compare it to that, to chew hill, 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, what it was and what you use to temperatures. ok, a temperature in one part of the world would be feeling would feel quite cold in another part of the world say school. so what are you used to? what is your environment like using help pulse, remember because we always have getting some feedback from our audience who are watching online on youtube. cities where a being mentioned, jump pull in india, communities in a rom morocco, a g agent and saudi arabia right there. oh, experiencing extreme heat, but what i love about a gas 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,
7:45 am
i want to take you to somewhere between and knows this very well and it's, it's become a really great phrase, free trial tree town and see what he, i, that's have a look. this is what the math, a freetown has to say about this project. become a treat. he's obviously some official from a 1000000 trees over to a lot of sampling trees for growing which means communities are involved, which means we're tracking them. we trees are monitoring that grow and live in new life, to hillside, to mangroves, to force that area is 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 guests are noting trees tray to the onset,
7:46 am
including joanna frank, to joins is an extra voice in our conversation. so we've 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 pool and 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 the rising temperatures and could prevent up to
7:47 am
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 you're prompting a little something like this, that is not going to help. right? and you cannot just plant and leave it. that's it. it's 2 or 3 decades was of attention for that tree for activates. we gotta save us, which is because that time span when at city is not going to be extremely hot. so what's the point of a little tree? how's that going out? the truth has a lot to do an environmental, beautiful and very existence depends on the tree. we give out the c o 2 and reading oxygen and oxygen is coming from the training. they help protect the
7:48 am
environment. so 1st of all, in terms of a tree planting strategy, the reason why we've been very successful is because we are deliberates we are deliberates enchanting, but also deliberate in royce and ensuring that we tracking the trees. this is the number g. yes, we know that we're 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 d. like, sorry i, i get is excited. it like a listening. oh, do you me? because when i 1st heard about in the, the town to town project program, actually i copy, we copy, we did the same thing is the same because we don't have the same type like deadline of course. but we, we decide to go with the big piece as well. so we are punting
7:49 am
a twisting something. yeah. well, but they're not, i mean, is it weighed more or less than that, but when we're 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 it's so keep silence because we're not putting them in parks, which is might be easier by putting them on on whether used to be cement or used to be like our sidewalk. so it's expensive, it's tricky, but we were convinced that we need to do that in order to it to, to have the it's 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 i'll definitely take that to use in india. is it a massive in the inequities when it comes to shade light?
7:50 am
so usually below the engine. ready costs neighborhoods would be interesting call increase and have absolutely no shade. and those are the people that need it the most. and so they, there's 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, i'm just going to go to youtube just briefly because we're getting suggestions from our audience who are watching on youtube. so brent says painting surfaces white's break. did you see? well, i have lined up to share, but i would, it's, we just on the same wavelength here because painting services white really helps. i'm going to take it to a project in new delhi. i'm, 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 a m s thinking, throw on ben, open a ball static. i'm going to be in. but those misery i make,
7:51 am
i made me so much of bank of yeah, letting me i knew i live in the band. and dave and so will they need the money to load up the other guy to me, let's see. they've been in san angelo school. edwin, am i'm giving a bunch of friends are going to make a man of this. the talk is a after getting me the, the of the happen again. sorry to him up. let me put you but know where be need to see the data. the audi body output of those things easy to get data. mitchell got a, been a pass by the good when in that, but how do i be there is an a be a delay tell you that the modem at and i would pick the data for the spend to do with is a look back. yeah, i need to band bedding and it'd be on google did optimally get to me is that the was for mental picture this 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,
7:52 am
a country that will be prone to more heat waste, but you don't have a single chief heat officer. that's the problem i take, isn't it? yeah, so it's actually great to be in this conversation and, and show a lot of what she sees officers are doing. i've heard all the plans of instituting t c positions, but it's of a new governance phenomenal, right? it's, it's only a couple of years or so, but um she usually promising it looks like because to have one person manage the entire portfolio, which stretches across so many different buttons on the big problems we find in most indian governments context is it is no single entity that's responsible for sheet by the impacts on agriculture, the impacts on what the impacts on the best environment. and all of these things made. they belong to a completely different department. so in admin, anything useful to have all of this concentrated and one 4th full. i'm going to share some of christina outlook. christina,
7:53 am
this is your santiago heat protocol here, explaining what is going on in the plaza. 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 from local government, from federal government as well. otherwise, what the people do is they can't do things by themselves. and of course, of course, actually i'm happy that in we, we have our 1st protocol, we don't belong to the last december and the, so it's a simple one. but they did was to install the, the, the importance of having that protocol to embrace the extreme. so that in that i'm, i'm so happy and a makes my job easier that i have to support if i were reaching
7:54 am
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 do 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 um, we have a workforce for the within the 1st year of aware and since i became a see to, oh, so i'm happy to get that easy. i'm 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, google's trees and so on. all of it requires money. and we sort of looked across heat action plans across the world's heat action plans in india. and one thing we
7:55 am
sort of consistently noticed that the heat funding is a scarcely available because it's such a new area of public policy. it's only now getting attention to the media to heat players. and so these a 2 public communications from carpets. and so that's just one area of focus for the next 4 or 510 years, i suspect a user. now, what do you want me to be? let me just bring in one more voice here and this is as the voice of knowing. so i spoke to us a little bit earlier and he's studying at the university of nairobi, but he's in nigeria and, and he's listed some of the major issues that nigeria have. and i know eugene yet, what is the ways that you case? what can we do to get that? have to listen to lawrence and immediately off the back. what can we do to get to his thoughts? we see that within the country to the the express increasing frequency and intensity of a dyslexia fix, $100.00 culture and i try to inconsistent many communities across the country is
7:56 am
headquartered. differentiates related to an es is such as true stress dehydration agitation expo shown. and also discomfort recorded, particularly among children and dues leaving on the line health conditions, muscle, extreme heat. sure things for secrete screwed in the country. as quotes are low still due to high temperature virginia. go ahead. what can we do together? so as you said, it needs to be a collective effort. we need to work together and community a part of the problem, the more the part of the solution. so as we're 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 around why he, why this is happening. what did the week going to,
7:57 am
what can we do together to protect the environment? but also at the national level, we need to be deliberate in driving sustainable solution and 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 available to do all the beautiful work and signing that me as we've 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 responses from the sheet volta and shade as well. thank you, christina aditya, eugenia as well for coming to our show talking about the climate crisis,
7:58 am
but also bringing plenty of solutions as well. to remind us from the very beginning of the show when you told us nobody needs to die because of extreme heat. thank you so much, being part of this conversation you chipped us. thank you for joining us. i will see you next time on this. take everybody news . the
7:59 am
. the latest news, isaac, for, excuse, tech spec seconds. well, that's why has already started this. it can't be here with details coverage withhold that members of the g. 9 gang are not far away from here and they have been attacking this area from around the world. they haven't seen anything like this so far. since the conflict again, we get a sense of how in norm is the scale of this humanitarian crisis, is reviewing the headlines, dissecting what they say, which has decided to go live was the really a full scale innovation, exposing how the media is used to shape the one factor that never seems to make a difference is it's on true. it never happens until political powers can suppress free speech. if you tried to record that need to be in public, the police would be there in the matter of seconds. we are on the coast of the listening post, you'll guy to the media on tuesday,
8:00 am
around the land of the free americans and never been a real democracy. the black people never experience that democracy may be excludes divisions and struggles in america's electoral system. aside for and against equal representation, and the democratic process is the country that's learning how to be a democracy, but it's not there yet. one person, one vote on al jazeera. and i'm told stories from asia on notice here. the nice full 100 people are now dead in me on mondays office by clinton. marcus went for.
