 Why in News

  • This summer, India experienced severe heatwaves, with temperatures surpassing 50°C in Delhi, leading to over 200 reported deaths.

  • The extreme weather serves as a critical reminder of the worsening climate conditions that must not be ignored as the monsoon arrives.

Heatwaves and Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect

  • Urban areas in India are experiencing more severe and frequent heatwaves, significantly due to the UHI effect.

  • Concrete, asphalt, and glass structures in cities trap heat and increase energy consumption, exacerbating the UHI effect.

  • The design of modern corporate hubs increases energy use and exacerbates heat retention, worsening living conditions for city dwellers.

  • The reliance on technology during heatwaves worsens urban conditions and leads to less demand for public improvements

Impact on the Marginalized

  • Marginalized communities, such as delivery workers, auto drivers, and construction laborers, suffer the most from heat without adequate relief or protection.

  • Heat impacts earnings and livelihoods, as reduced foot traffic and exposure to harsh conditions diminish opportunities for these vulnerable groups.

Way Forward

  • It is essential to reconnect with urban environments, moving beyond technology that insulates the privileged from reality.

  • The urban elite should actively advocate for improvements in public services and infrastructure to create equitable living conditions.

  • Recognizing how technology and privilege have created a comfort trap can lead to greater empathy and action for improving urban living for all.
