Thanks @TIME Magazine and @FuchsWriter for shining a light on fans! They're much better for the environment than AC and can effectively cool in many hot situations!
Was a pleasure to be part of the article from here at @UniofOxford .

This week Minister @grahamstuart appeared before EAC & discussed the UK’s national cooling plan as the #COP28#GlobalCoolingPledge calls for.
☀Our #HeatResilience report sets out measures the Government should consider when formulating its plan, read at https://t.co/H0Z68mK9g9
Dr Nicole Miranda @EPGOxford was one of the specialist advisors for the Parliamentary Heat Resilience and Sustainable Cooling inquiry, helping to shape the scope and review evidence. The concluding report, published today, urges the UK Government to introduce a national heat resilience strategy to prepare the UK for the impacts of a warming world. https://t.co/MIm0RJ74Sn
Proud to have contributed to the UK Parliament's EAC Report published today on Heat Resilience and Sustainable Cooling.

🚨 A national strategy on heat resilience is urgently needed to address “the silent killer” of heatwaves.

☀🌡2023 was the hottest year ever recorded globally.
The UK must prioritise passive cooling, nature-based solutions & improving the thermal comfort of homes.

Increasing the amount of green space is one of the most important tools in tackling impacts of heat
The Govt must expand urban green space & introduce measures incentivising green roof installation

🌡The UK saw temperatures of over 40°C for the first time in 2022, and 2023 was the world’s hottest year on record.
📖 Our report on heat resilience and sustainable cooling will be published on Wednesday 31st January.
So glad to be part of the Ozone Pavillion today @COP28_UAE. Thanks to @EIA_News for hosting the event where I presented on how we report HFC emissions.
@oxengsci@oxmartinschool
'We will continue to see such unprecedented extremes until we stop burning fossil fuels and emitting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.'
Temperatures in parts of Chile and Argentina have soared to 10°C-20°C above average over the last few days.
@MattPattClimate explains ⬇️
#ClimateChange is exceptional and caused by human greenhouse gas emissions
We are causing #globalwarming 100 times faster than past natural changes
We are taking Earth’s climate way beyond natural limits, with carbon dioxide and temperatures levels not seen for 3 million years
Ahead of #COP28, the Global Cooling Pledge calls on stakeholders to commit to action on a range of issues, including:
🌴Nature-based solutions
⚡️Super-efficient appliances
🔗Food & vaccine cold chains
❄️District cooling
📝National Cooling Action Plans

Better home ventilation, fans + window shutters but also radiant cooling panels + painting areas with ultra white light.
Oxford Uni’s @TheSmithSchool wants to focus minds on the extreme heat to come.
Right now, they believe UK “dangerously unprepared” https://t.co/cvWpqrwcP7
