Prof Jean Palutikof and team at Griffith University, Australia, are coming to the end of the three-year project funded by Wellcome to explore low- to moderate-cost sustainable strategies to reduce heat stress in two Bangladesh RMG factory buildings, and their performance under future climate change. The strategies are green roofs (vegetation), white roofs (paint) and shading. Using a combination of monitoring, modelling, worker interviews and climate chamber experiments, we have been able to show that all interventions produced improved conditions, though to varying degrees.

This one-hour webinar will report on the approach, methods and findings of the project. There will be a 30-minute presentation by Prof Jean Palutikof, followed by the opportunity for questions and discussion with Jean and two project investigators, Aaron Bach and Fahim Tonmoy.
