Jane Gilbert is the world’s first Chief Heat Officer. Her task is to prepare and protect Miami’s citizens for and from the heat.

Extreme heat is responsible for more deaths than all other climate driven disasters in the US combined. We talk about around 12.000 death each year. By 2100, according to a study by the University of Washington, the annual toll could be close to 100.000. By then, 94% of Miami Beach would be underwater. Not a small task to manage.

Jane's strategies and goals, the effectiveness of extreme heat toolkits and the new health task force. About climate resilience hubs and heat shelters. The consequences for peoples health and living standards and whether the rich are staying healthy and the poor are dying faster. And: Why Miami's first CHO is a role model for Los Angeles, Athens, Freetown in Sierra Leone and many more.
