The hot reality: Living in a +50°C world
The Hot Reality: Living in a +50°C World project, led by the Centre for Sustainable Cooling and the Africa Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Cooling and Cold-Chain (ACES) in Kigali, Rwanda, sets out to consider the impact of heat on humans and the broad range of essential cooling services upon which we rely to survive and thrive.
In particular, the study focuses on food and nutritional security, health, buildings and the built environment, and the functioning of modern societies in terms of workplace output, economic productivity, digital infrastructure, the movement of people in migration patterns, and the socio-economic disparities that lead to political and geopolitical tensions and instability.
