"The appointment of chief heat officers in Melbourne is a vital acknowledgement
of how serious urban heat is for Australia. It’s a first for the country and
part of an international movement to improve how cities handle heat in a
warming world.
In partnership with the US-based Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation
Resilience Center, six cities around the world now have chief heat officers
dedicated to reducing heat risks.
Urban heat does more than cause discomfort for city residents. It’s a threat to
their lives. The City of Melbourne’s new chief heat officers, Tiffany Crawford
and Krista Milne, will oversee the work of managing the risks of extreme heat
in the city."
