How to live in extreme heat | V. Kelly Turner | TEDxUCLA

Record-breaking heat might dominate headlines, but for most of us, hotter-than-usual conditions slowly cost our quality of life. Dr. Turner walks us through a typical hot day — today, and in a future designed for living well with heat.

Dr. Turner is a heat researcher and science communicator who has advised federal, state, and local governments on heat policy. As a Professor of Urban Planning and Geography and Associate Director of heat equity research at the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation, she studies how people can thrive in a hotter world.
