UNC-Chapel Hill’s William and Ida Friday Center presents:
Heat on the Streets:
How You Can Help Uncover Urban Hot Spots & Vulnerabilities
Chris Fuhrmann, Chip Konrad, Andrew Robinson and
Department of Geography and Environment
Tuesday, April 22 from 6:30 – 8:00PM.
As climate change intensifies, extreme heat has become one of the most dangerous threats facing urban areas. But not all communities experience this heat in the same way. Why are some neighborhoods significantly hotter than others? And who faces the greatest risks?
In honor of Earth Day, join UNC researchers Chris Fuhrmann, Chip Konrad, and Andrew Robinson for an eye-opening discussion on the factors that make certain populations more vulnerable to extreme heat. Participants will be introduced to an exciting citizen science project, where they can help map heat exposure across Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Durham. By collecting real-world data, community members can support scientists and local leaders in developing smarter, more targeted strategies to protect those most at risk.
Join us for an impactful experience and learn more about this growing threat that effects climate, public health and communities. Visit our website for more information: https://fridaycenter.unc.edu/heat-on-the-streets/Register to Attend
