13 discussed to improve data coverage in cities where people are most exposed to heat. Smart watches, on the other hand, focus on monitoring individual heat stress, correlating temperature with activity levels and corresponding core body temperature to provide key insights on human risk impacts. Discussion The discussion evolved around covering the transition between indoor and outdoor environments. This presentation was focused on outdoor environment but there was an acknowledgement of the use of UCI for more realistic exposure between the two. The implications of the use of web scraping for data collection was then discussed, noting a consistent quality control method for low-cost sensors. Several points highlighted the need for high-precision measurements to inform policy, particularly in low-resource, high-risk areas, bridging gaps between technology and measurement. Climate Modelling and Analytics for Urban Heat Risk Mitigation and Adaptation (Prof. Yuan Chao) Prof. Yuan Chao's presentation highlighted the impact of climate resilience and the need to model heat flows. He noted that heat from neighboring buildings can raise temperatures by up to 2°C and discussed anthropogenic heat dispersion models that aid urban planning and climate resilience Fig 1.4 An image from the Microclimate Digital Platform shared during Prof. Yuan's presentation
