Today on the #DataSmartCityPod we're featuring an interview with Dr. Heiko Aydt, PhD of Singapore-ETH Centre, ETH Zürich! Dr. Aydt talks with host Stephen Goldsmith about one of the most sophisticated #climatechange tools in the world, which uses #digitaltwin technology to model adaptations and mitigations for extreme heat in Singapore. Not quite at this level of sophistication? Dr. Aydt provides recommendations and lessons that apply across a spectrum of?tools, so take a listen below and see what you can learn for your local context!

Did you know that extreme heat is more dangerous for a pregnant person, fetus, or infant? A temperature that might be ok for most of the general public can be dangerous for this population, which exacerbates existing inequalities. This article explores why these populations are at higher risk, the added burdens of inequity, and how local governments and communities can take action. ?? #ClimateChange #PublicHealth #HeatResilience #HealthEquity
