As heatwaves grow more frequent and severe due to climate change, their effects on human health are becoming increasingly alarming. This event invites you to engage in a vital discussion on how extreme heat is impacting our bodies, communities, and healthcare systems.
Through this discussion, we will explore the science behind heatwaves and their growing intensity, the risks posed to public health—particularly for vulnerable groups—and the broader implications for society as global temperatures continue to rise.
