Summer temperatures in the Northeast are increasing\, along with extreme heat days and heat waves. At “From Snow Days to Heat Waves\,” learn about the intersections of climate change\, heat\, and health in th e Greater Boston area.
\nSpeakers will highlight projects across the Greater Boston area addressing the issues of rising and extreme temperatu res\, public health\, equity\, and climate change via short presentations and a panel discussion. A full list of speakers will be announced soon.
\nExtreme heat is one of the deadliest weather events in the United St ates\, and can exacerbate existing health conditions. And the effects aren ’t experienced equally: the impacts of extreme heat are greater in low-inc ome and BIPOC neighborhoods\, where historic disinvestment has resulted in less access to green space\, fewer street trees\, and inadequate housing and cooling infrastructure. These impacts will likely be intensified as cl imate change causes temperatures to increase and humidity to rise.
\nThis event is co-hosted by the Museum of Science\, Boston\; Mystic River Watershed Association\; and Metropolitan Area Planning Council. The Metrop olitan Mayors Coalition Climate Taskforce and Resilient Mystic Collaborati ve are co-sponsors.
\nThe program is made possible with generous sup port from the Massachusetts Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Program.
