The IPCC AR6 states that it is virtually certain that hot extremes (including heatwaves) have become more frequent and more intense across most land regions. With the forecast of increased frequency and intensity of heatwaves due to climate change in the future, the heat stress action plans are key to city adaptation strategies. This master class is an introduction to design Climate Adaptive Heat Action Plans which will enable the cities to efficiently prepare, mitigate and adapt to the heat stress-induced by climate change.

The South Asia Heat Health Information Network (SAHHIN) is pleased to invite you to its upcoming Global Master Class on ‘Climate Adaptive Heat Action Plans’ by expert Mr. Rohit Magotra, Deputy Director, IRADe.

This masterclass will provide an understanding of Heat Action Plan features, along with identification and mapping of heat hot spots/urban heat islands and developing heat adaptation strategies for managing heat stress for cities.
