Building urban resilience and translating data into adaptation with Europe's first Chief Heat Officer Eleni Myrivili

lundi 16 mai 2022 • Durée 46:54

Of all extreme weather phenomenon, heatwaves and extreme heat events are the most scientifically correlated to climate change; they are also the most deadly. Research conducted by the World Weather Attribution Group found that the Pacific Northwest heatwave of June 2021 would have been virtually impossible absent the effects of global warming. Additionally, studies have shown that the U.S. stands to lose up to $500 billion per year as a result of lost "workability" due to the impacts of extreme heat.

Enter Eleni Myrivili. Appointed last year as the first Chief Heat Officer for the city of Athens, Greece, the first such role on the European continent, Ms. Myrivili is working to raise awareness of the impacts of extreme heat, in addition to implementing adaptive strategies to ensure that Athens and other cities around the world can build resilience to the impacts of extreme heat events.

In this episode we discuss:

🏙 Ms. Myrivili's journey from Anthropology to urban climate resilience (1:50)
🌡 The idiosyncratic nature of heatwaves (8:30)
🥵 The impacts of heatwaves on urban quality of life... (11:01)
📉 ...and how much extreme heatwaves impact GDP (13:17)
🏛 How the built environment in Athens contributes to extreme heat island effects (18:08)
🌳 The symbiotic relationship between mitigation and adaptation, and the need for policy to address both (23:41)
🇬🇷 How climate and temperature data is being used to build resilience in Athens (32:48)
🌍 And how looking at climate change through the lens of anthropology can help improve climate outcomes (41:53)

Behind the Stripes: Communicating climate science and using data to build resilience with Professor Ed Hawkins and Berkeley Earth's Dr. Robert Rohde

jeudi 21 avril 2022 • Durée 36:36

The world's first confirmation of global warming using actual temperature observations was published in 1938 when engineer Guy Callendar linked an observed 0.3°C warming to an increased atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Fast forward nearly 90 years and 1.3°C, and climate scientists are still using crucial environmental data to communicate the significance of - and urgency around - carbon emissions and global warming. But now with significantly better data, data that modern illustrative styles and communication tools are dispensing to a mass audience — none more recognized than the ubiquitous climate stripes, a colorful progression from blue hues to deep reds to show the world’s warming over time.

In celebration of Earth Day 2022, Data Points Podcast is thrilled to welcome climate stripes creator Professor Ed Hawkins for a conversation with Berkeley Earth Lead Scientist Dr. Robert Rohde about the importance of making climate science accessible, the ongoing efforts to “rescue” historic climate data, and why filling the gaps in the historical climate record is essential to increasing our resilience to climate change.

In this episode we discuss:

📚 The origin of Professor Hawkins’ famous climate stripes
🎨 The importance of creativity and innovation in making climate science accessible and approachable
⚓️ Why 16,000 volunteers across the U.K. worked with www.weatherrescue.org to digitize data from 19th century ship logs
🌊 How historical climate data is being used to craft infrastructure legislation and prepare for future impacts of climate change
🌋 Why increasing our understanding of the period between 1780 and 1850 is crucial to understanding the climate impacts of fossil fuels
💰 And why investing in historic climate data is essential to building resilience to climate change.

How can an early warning system in East Africa use climate data to adapt to climate change?

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

mardi 22 mars 2022 • Durée 37:16

The UN IPCC's late February publication Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability, looking specifically at the socioeconomic impacts of climate change, was described by UN Secretary General António Guterres as, "an atlas of human suffering and a damning indictment of failed climate leadership." The report issued a strong call-to-action to lower emissions and mitigate climate change while recognizing the urgent need to ramp up funding streams for adaptive measures.

Taking a deeper look at the relationship between investing in climate data and building adaptive capacity, we are thrilled to welcome Abubakr Salih Babiker, Erick Otenyo, and Marta Baraibar from the IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Center, also known as ICPAC for the first episode of our 2022 Earth Month series for Data Points. Leveraging climate and environmental data from a number of sources including Berkeley Earth, their East Africa Hazards Watch platform serves as a crucial early warning system to help increase adaptive capacity in an 11-country region across eastern Africa.

In this episode we discuss:

🌍An overview of ICPAC and their impact as a climate services provider

🌨How a single extreme weather event accounted for a 14% loss of GDP for one East African country

🌊The strengthening of the Indian Ocean dipole and it's impact on weather patterns across the continent
