Ms. Surella Segú – the first to hold the CHO position in Mexico and Central America– joins a global coalition of city leaders and experts committed to reducing the growing threat of extreme urban heat for vulnerable people. The appointment also marks Monterrey’s initiation into City Champions for Heat Action (CCHA), a cornerstone initiative led by Arsht-Rock.
