Extreme heat is one of the most pressing challenges facing cities today, requiring solutions that integrate science, planning, and community engagement.This webinar will highlight NOAA-supported research and partnerships that are advancing actionable solutions to extreme heat in urban environments. Speakers will share insights on:

• how collaborative “heat lab” approaches are connecting researchers, practitioners, and communities to co-develop locally relevant solutions
• how high-resolution data and mapping tools are helping cities identify heat exposure and target interventions
• how planning tools can evaluate and strengthen the integration of heat resilience across policies and decision-making processes

Together, these presentations will show how cross-sector collaboration can support effective urban heat resilience.
