🔆Ahmedabad, India – Pioneering a Comprehensive Heat :
✅Action Plan Ahmedabad, experienced a severe heatwave in 2010, which led to hundreds of deaths. This prompted the development of South Asia's first comprehensive Heat Action Plan (HAP) in 2013, a pioneering step that has since been considered a global model for heatwave preparedness.

Innovative Steps Taken:

✅ Early Warning System and Public Awareness: The plan included an early warning system for upcoming heatwaves, disseminating alerts via media, text messages, and public announcements.
✅Heat-Resistant Infrastructure: Efforts were made to modify urban infrastructure, such as painting roofs white to reflect sunlight and reduce indoor temperatures.
✅ Cooling Spaces: Public spaces like temples, public buildings, and malls were designated as cooling centres, providing relief during peak heat hours.
✅ Healthcare System Preparedness: The city's healthcare facilities were equipped and trained
to deal with heat-related illnesses, including setting up special wards and training medical staff.
✅ Capacity Building and Training: Training programs for health professionals, emergency responders, and community leaders were implemented to build capacity in dealing with heat waves.
✅ Water Management: Ensuring water availability, particularly in slum areas, was prioritized to prevent dehydration and heat strokes.
✅ Impact and Global Recognition: The HAP led to a significant reduction in heat-related deaths.

The success of the Ahmedabad model prompted its adaptation in over 30 other cities across India.
Recognized globally, the Ahmedabad HAP has been highlighted by international organizations like the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as an effective strategy for combating heat waves.
