titled Turning up the heat: Learning from the summer 2022 heatwaves in England to inform UK policy on extreme heat and produced by the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment and the Place-Based Climate Action Network &#8211; analysed the experiences of key agencies and stakeholders who had direct experience of responding to the 2022 heatwaves across different cities and regions in England.<\/p>\n<p>Led by Dr Candice Howarth, head of local climate action at the Grantham Institute, the report concluded the 2022 heatwaves serve as a &#8220;warning&#8221; to policymakers and practitioners &#8211; but also offer an opportunity to reflect on what is needed to better prepare for extreme heat in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The study found that decision makers and practitioners such as local authorities, national government departments, the London Fire Brigade, ambulance services, communities, and utilities providers working on the frontline of the 2022 heatwave response were &#8220;severely stretched&#8221; and &#8220;struggled to keep on tasks during the response&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In London, for example, resources were &#8220;extremely stretched&#8221; with limited capacity to adequately respond to heatwave impacts, such as the high number of fires in the greater London region, transport disruption, and impacts to health and wellbeing.\u202f Specifically, 19 July 2022, when temperatures exceeded 40C, was the busiest day for the London Fire Brigade since the Second World War.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessgreen.com\/news\/4179225\/study-uk-prepared-repeat-2022-heatwaves\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessgreen.com\/news\/4179225\/study-uk-prepared-repeat-2022-heatwaves\">Business Green<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/study-uk-not-yet-prepared-for-repeat-of-2022-heatwaves\/\">Study: UK \u2018not yet prepared\u2019 for repeat of 2022 heatwaves<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,9771,2301,579],"class_list":["post-126439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-heat-waves","tag-prepare","tag-uk"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126439\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
