#GEOHeatSprint participants are now exploring the initial ideas stemming from their brainstorming sessions and sharing their opinions through voting. Excitement fills the room as diverse perspectives converge to shape the future of #GlobalHeatResilienceService . Group on Earth Observations (GEO) World Meteorological Organization

Day 3 #GHRS : Participants are sharing original ideas and addressing challenges faced by cities like #Chennai #Rio de Janeiro #Monterrey #Dakha .Collaborative efforts towards resilient urban futures are in motion! #GEOHeatSprint C40 Cities Group on Earth Observations (GEO) bit.ly/3uRb8b0

Today during the #GEOHeatSprint brainstormed ideas on the Heat Resilience Service, including tech and data behind.
Couldn’t miss mentioning SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog and the whole Cloud-Native Geospatial Foundation formats.
I feel the very first tangible step could be creating a STAC catalog of heat-related data.

Lenio Myrivili GCHO: 'We need data & evidence-based, forward-looking plans and initiatives. There is an urgent need to protect urban populations. Grateful that GEO is taking an important step towards this.'

Attending #GEOHeatSprint World Meteorological Organization this week. Great interactions with fellow scientists, local governments and regional climate centers working on heat stress in cities

Juli Trtanj, NOAA: 'The importance of building trust and strong partnerships across sectors involved in heat resilience came shining through.'

Participating in the #GEOHeatSprint event at World Meteorological Organization in Geneva🇨🇭

Organised by the Group on Earth Observations (GEO), towards developing a Global Heat resilience service to provide every #urban area with localised data, information & insights on the health risks from exposure to extreme heat

Great…

Extreme heat kills half a million people globally each year. What can we do to change this? Today Group on Earth Observations (GEO) & World Meteorological Organization & cities start the co-designing of the Global Heat Resilience Service.

We're in Geneva for the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) #GEOHeatSprint ! Hear from Global Chief Heat Officer Eleni Myrivili and Claire Phillips as they explain what’s happening on the ground and how climate leaders are coming together to build heat resilient communities. bit.ly/3IPnPns

NIHHIS is at #GEOHeatSprint this week connecting with partners for discussions about improving #heat resilience around the world.
