Overheating

• They can also stay hydrated with access to fresh, clean and safe water at Petco locations during regular business hours.
• "Communities everywhere are feeling the effects of the heat wave, and this includes our beloved pets," said Petco Chief Veterinarian Dr. Whitney Miller, DVM, MBA, DACVPM .
• Petco pet care centers are offering cool drinking water for pets in disposable water bowls, which helps limit the risk of disease transmission.
• Pets can also access shade in Petco locations, as just a few minutes of direct sunlight in extreme temperatures can risk heat exhaustion.

• But that doesn’t mean there’s no risk of intense heat: on this exact week last year, the UK broke 40°C for the first time.
• For the UK, the new reality is that 40°C temperatures are possible and eventually will be commonplace, and the country must adapt urgently.
• For example, creating green space in urban areas to provide a cooling effect that reduces the intensity of extreme heat.
• Even before the Paris agreement required adaptation plans, the UK had already started to plan adaptation actions under the Climate Change Act 2008.

What risks has the UK identified?

• Climate change projections indicate that the UK will experience hotter drier summers and warmer wetter winters.
• These projections have been used by the government to develop the climate change risk assessment, on which national adaptation plans are based.
• In order to deal with these risks the UK has planned key actions to protect against extreme heat and flooding from sea level rise and rainfall.

UK adaptation plans

• The NAP3 will provide further structure, compared to previous plans, and delivery will be via an existing governance process.
• The UK, like many countries, has numerous frameworks and plans, such as the Heatwave Plan, Green Infrastructure Framework, and National Infrastructure Delivery Plans.
• Adaptation is complex, involving numerous parties at numerous scales from the huge Thames Barrier to a few trees on the road outside your home.
• One analysis of adaptation plans for European cities identified Sofia (Bulgaria) and Galway and Dublin (Ireland) as the best quality.
• National adaptation plans have improved, but those that are actually coordinated at a national level, like in Ireland, are rare.
