Heat is one of the most dangerous natural hazards, causing preventable deaths and putting vulnerable communities under increasing pressure. But heat is not experienced equally, with some communities more vulnerable than others.

The University of Liverpool’s Melting Metropolis research is a major Wellcome funded project that explores how people experience urban heat, and how cities can respond. It brings together historians, artists, and community engagement experts to better understand heat and health in London, New York and Paris.

Host Gavin Freeborn is joined in the studio by Professor Chris Pearson, Environmental Historian and Principal Investigator on the project, and Dr Anna Bocking-Welch, Senior Lecturer in History, to talk about the realities of extreme heat, and what cities need to do next. 

The clips are John Nairn, Senior Extreme Heat Advisor, World Meteorological Organization talking at a UN (United Nations) conference, and Dr Chloe Duteil, Melting Metropolis, University of Liverpool.
