You are going to see me post about this report several times in the next couple of weeks because this is an extremely important topic. This report provides a real body of evidence and thought leadership. I am looking forwards to the discussion at the launch event next week. #ClimateChange #Resilience #Adaptation #ColdChain

On Thursday July 18th 2024 University of Birmingham's Centre for Sustainable Cooling (CSC) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) will be holding a joint event in London to mark the publication of “The Hot Reality: Living in a +50°C World – Cooling as critical infrastructure to survive and thrive.”. This landmark report, authored by Dr Tim Fox and written contributions from more than 35 subject matter experts and their team colleagues worldwide, examines: · the impact of rising ambient seasonal temperatures and more frequent, prolonged and intense heatwaves on humans and a broad range of essential services upon which we rely to survive and thrive; · the key role that clean cooling has in helping humanity to adapt to a hotter world and build resilience; · the case for governments across the globe to recognise that cooling systems are critical national infrastructure and the risks associated with not doing so. The publication launch of this broad ranging report will take place at IMechE’s Headquarters, located at 1 Birdcage Walk, London, SW1 9JJ, commencing at 6.15pm (attendee registration from 5.45pm) for a presentation and discussion and will be followed by an evening drinks reception. Attendance is by invitation only and places are limited. Please email me [email protected] is you would like to join us at this exciting and timely event.
