LA will host the World Cup and Olympics in the heat of summer. Will the city be ready?
>As L.A. prepares to host the global soccer tournament – and the Olympics in 2028 – organizers and local officials say that making sure fans and city infrastructure are ready to endure the heat is critical. That's especially true as the region gets warmer due to climate change.
**Why it matters:** Keeping cool is no easy feat in Los Angeles, a city overflowing with practically shade-less palm trees https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/palm-trees-los-angeles-history-mexican-fan-california-fan-canary-island-date, xposed bus stops https://laist.com/news/climate-environment/it-will-soon-get-hot-but-only-one-fourth-of-la-countys-bus-stops-have-shade-structures nd miles of asphalt.
**What's LA doing?** L.A.'s making plans for locals and visitors who will be at SoFi Stadium, fan events, and watch parties. Those changes, though, will be temporary: pop-up hydration stations, shade structures and a public messaging campaign on how to stay safe in the heat.
