Abstract

Heatwaves are becoming increasingly common and increasingly intense, with severe consequences. But the state’s response to the impacts of extreme heat continues to be temporary and disjointed. Sara Mehryar and Declan Conway argue that the UK needs to build more heat resilience through urban and infrastructure planning, improved comms on the risks of heat, and the establishment of a National Heat Risk Commission.
