Webinar on Extreme Heat Impacts and Actions

Extreme heat is deadly, on the rise globally - but its toll can be reduced. Despite the growing adverse impacts, there is a lack of global awareness, risk analysis, and action to combat heat risks. 

The Global Disaster Preparedness Center of the American Red Cross, the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, and the Global Heat Health Information Network (GHHIN) launched a research grant program to increase knowledge on heatwaves and their impact on people, especially in low and middle-income countries. Join the online event to hear from the research grant awardees in Bangladesh, Serbia, South Africa, and Kenya in the first of the webinar series
