University event offered by University of Nottingham
Short Session
The UK witnessed an unprecedented heatwave in summer 2022 during which temperatures exceeded 40°C for the first time in recorded history. Characteristics of the geography, demography and bult environment in Nottingham make many parts of the city highly vulnerable to severe impacts from heat.
In this talk, Dr Charles Ogunbode will share findings from recent research into lived experiences of the 2022 heatwave among communities in Nottingham. The research details the range of physical, mental, social and economic impacts that people endured, as well as the way that people pulled together to look after one another; demonstrating resilience within families, organisations and various social groups.
