Great coverage on adapting schools to a hotter future by @callimcflurry and some actions #California can take from @LuskinCenter report on #extremeheat in #schools. @MorganLeeRogers
“Now that climate change is a reality, virtually every sector is going to have to think about it,” says V. Kelly Turner, an urban planning professor and director of the @UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation. 📝: @callimcflurry

State researchers offer recommendations on how schools can become more heat-resilient in the face of global warming. Proposed changes to state law could make it easier to build shade structures.

What an incredible week at the International Congress of @biometeorology #ICB2023 ! I'm still inspired by all the discussions and knowledge sharing. Excited to see where the next gathering will take us! 🌍
It's been 2 weeks since @ASUGlobalFuture hosted the International Congress of @biometeorology! Check out our big group photo at @dbgphx ! Such an amazing week. We can't wait to see everyone 👀somewhere in the world 🌎🌍🌏 (TBD) in three years!

The Fast Company story with @jessica_meaney and @vkellyturner — this is what happens when cities don't effectively plan for shade, or in L.A.'s case, don't really plan for anything! https://t.co/Sdmnz6B90O

How does #design of where we live, learn, and play affect human #heat burden? Check out report by @VKellyTurner @ArianeMiddel @MorganLeeRogers et al in collab. w/ partners in Pacoima @PB__Community @CommunityPrtnrs + Fernangeles Elementary School⬇️ https://t.co/jeCfEo5JzQ

I should do an epic thread on the contents of this #lightpollution report now released by Caltrans, but if you've seen me talk in the last 6-9 months you have a good idea what is in here. Get your copy here: https://t.co/PZnMRrlLJj

Note the combination of tree and building #shadeinfrastructure for kids to learn and play. Not pictured: virtually unusable full sun exposed asphalt “play yard” just outside and at most schools.
A new policy brief published by @LuskinCenter proposes five actions for California policymakers to prepare the state’s K-12 public school system for rising temperatures under #ClimateChange🌡🌏. https://t.co/iCDfbkiFte

Hot take: Extreme heat is neither “silent” or “invisible” if you’re a person that lives and works outdoors and without reprieve from heat or sufficient access to cooling. These are terms of privilege? #ICB2023

@ArianeMiddel presents findings from @FloASchneider research that practitioners’ literature fails to fully include trade-offs associated with green infrastructure and cool pavement 😬 #ICB2023
