What's it like being a chief heat officer?
Soraya Segu, an architect and urban planner who led Monterrey’s heat work, and Eugenia Carbo, Freetown’s Chief Heat Officer who coordinates trees and cooling pilots, join Umaru Fofana, a journalist reporting from Freetown’s informal settlements. They discuss day-to-day heat adaptation, why cities overheat, on-the-ground coping in Krubay, reflective roof pilots, tree counting and barriers like funding and political will.
