Sujet
Safeguarding Health from Extreme Heat Across the Human Lifespan
This hybrid presentation will focus on safety measures humans can take to protect themselves during extreme heat events. Dr. Ollie Jay will be highlighting how summer conditions traditionally classified as “extreme” are set to be the new normal by the next decade. Mitigating the health effects of extreme heat has now been declared “The public health challenge for the 21st century”, leading to the UN to formally recognize heat as a leading component of the health emergency that climate change poses to humans.
