SEVILLE MAYOR ANNONCES HEAT WAVE NAMING AND

CATEGORIZATION INITIATIVE

EVILLE, SPAIN -October 18 ,2021- At a live press conference today at 2:00 pm CEST/8:00am EDT following the event, Mayor Jan Espadas of
Seville, Spain, with words of endorsement from Valvanera Ulargui, Director of the National Government Agency for Climate Change, announced
plans to name and categorize heat waves.

The City of Seville is collaborating with the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center (Arsht-Rock), its Science
Advisory Panel- comprising leading climatologists and public health, disaster reliefs, and social and behavioral scientists – and AEMET, Spain’s
meteorological agency, the Spanish Agency for Climate Change, the University of Sevilla, and the Pablo de Olavide University , to develop the
methodology behind a formal naming and categorization system for heat waves, which will commence in 2022.

Kathy Baughman McLeod, SVP and director of Arsht-Rock Center and Mauricio Rodas, the former Mayor of Quito, Atlantic Council fellow, and
lead for Arsht-Rock’s Extreme Heat Resilience Alliance, City Champions for Heat Action initiative, also spoke at today’s event alongside the Mayor

The announcement cements heat’s position among Seville’s chief climate threats and earns Mayor Espadas the distinction of becoming the first
elected official in history to give extreme heat the same meteorological treatment and deference that hurricane and tropical storms command in
many parts of the world.
