Join us for a FREE ePanel event on Heat, Health, and Inequity, on September 26!
Heat waves are increasing in frequency, duration, and intensity around the world, including recent extreme heat events in the US, Europe, India, and China. These heat stresses increase morbidity and mortality by exacerbating chronic health conditions like cardiovascular disease and striking vulnerable populations like pregnant women, children, the elderly, and those from poorer and marginalized communities. This panel will explore the connections between heat and population health while identifying disparities and effective interventions to mitigate the impacts of climate change on human health.
