Hotsteppers is a new 3-year climate-health initiative bringing together researchers, policymakers, and communities to generate evidence and drive action on heat-health risks in Lagos.
Here's what we're working to achieve, in 60 seconds.
What does extreme heat mean for the millions of people who walk, cycle, commute, and work outdoors in Lagos?
We're proud to be an implementing partner on Hotsteppers: Active Lives in Hot Spots alongside @ludi_org, @Lamataonline, @rubanoffice, @chsd_unilag and @imsepidemiology
What makes @UrbanBetter different? It's our simple tools!
If you see something wrong (trash, bad roads, etc.) while out walking, you just take a photo, video, or audio clip using our tools.
It instantly shows up on our map. If it flashes RED, we know it's a priority. So Simple
UrbanBetter joined discussions with other leaders and innovators at #SUMConferenceLagos2025 linking health, mobility, and climate resilience reinforcing the importance of putting people and wellbeing at the centre of transport systems. @Lamataonline
Data is the bridge between lived experience and lasting change.
At #UrbanBetter, we believe in precision advocacy, using real data from our wearable sensors to push for policies that make our cities healthier & more sustainable.

Scorching heat, dirty air in traffic, unsafe streets.
For many young people, this is daily life. It harms bodies and minds.
On #MentalHealthandClimateDay at #ClimateWeekNYC, we call for cooler, cleaner, safer cities where people can breathe, move & thrive. #CityzensForClimate
This #ClimateWeekNYC, weβre rethinking how we move.
πββοΈπ΄ββοΈπΆββοΈ Running, cycling and walking = healthier bodies + cleaner cities.
Every step, pedal and stride cuts emissions. How are you moving for climate today?

Have you ever wondered why people engage in physical activities more in certain communities than others?
Infrastructure plays a huge role in determining culture. It's still #ClimateWeekNYC and today is Physical Activity Day at @UrbanBetter#MoveForClimate#CityzensForClimate
Today at #ClimateWeekNYC, we spotlight physical activity as a climate and health solution. πΆπ½ββοΈπ΄πΎββοΈ
Designing cities for walking, cycling, and active mobility means:
- Cleaner air
- Healthier bodies
- Lower emissions
