Urban Heat and Environmental Racism

The video discusses the temporary pause of CNN 10's daily shows for the summer, with clips being posted until regular programming resumes in August. It highlights the increasing urban heat and its unequal distribution, particularly affecting historically redlined neighborhoods. The video explains how redlining has led to disparities in heat stress, with communities of color facing higher temperatures due to lack of green spaces. NOAA's efforts to address environmental racism and promote climate resilience are also covered. The video concludes with a call to subscribe to CNN 10's newsletter.
