REGILIENCE Open Training Session 6 on Heat and Health: Building Resilience for a Hotter Future

REGILIENCE is hosting its sixth Open Training Session (OTS6) on 20 February 2025, from 10:00-12:00 CET, focusing on Heat and Health. As heat waves pose a growing threat to human health, this session will explore strategies to integrate heat resilience into health adaptation and planning.

After an introduction to the synergies between heat and health, including current empirical evidence, we will explore the assessment of emerging risks through a heat-related index. We will then hear about concrete examples of measures addressing both heat risks and health impacts, with a focus on regional and city-level initiatives. Finally, we will conclude with a discussion on key insights, emphasizing the importance of taking action for climate resilience.
