Have you already experienced a heatwave this year? Heatwaves debilitate children’s health and well-being and by 2050, every child on our planet – over 2 billion – will be exposed to high heatwave frequency. We need urgent #ClimateAction.

The relentless rise of heatwaves is a stark reminder of the urgent threat climate change poses to children. We need bold policies and immediate action to protect their health and well-being. #ClimateAction #ChildrensHealth #PolicyMatters

#climatechange is leading to more frequent and more intense heatwaves. In this video I describe recent reseach that provides better estimates of safe wet-bulb temperature limits for both survivability and livability for both young adults and older adults during these heatwaves. https://lnkd.in/gMMV3AhN

Say goodnight to bedbugs! 🛌🦟 Bedbugs are attracted to carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in human respiration and body warmth and can cause numerous health issues, but high concentrations of CO2 will kill them.

Did you know that low-income communities are disproportionately affected by extreme heat waves? This is largely due to a lack of air conditioning, green spaces, and healthcare access.

🌍 Europe's Heatwave Reality: A Call for Action 🌡️ 2023 marked Europe’s second warmest year ever, with heat-related mortality reaching over 47,000. But here's the silver lining: without the adaptation measures implemented since 2000, that number could have been 80% higher. Our progress in public health, early warning systems, and heat action plans have saved lives, especially among the most vulnerable. However, as temperatures continue to rise, we must urgently enhance our adaptation strategies and ramp up mitigation efforts. The time to act is now – before we reach critical thresholds. ✍ : https://lnkd.in/dTgcJhhu #ClimateChange #PublicHealth #Adaptation #Sustainability
