The aim is to develop an early warning system (EWS) for heat waves as part of the Jodhpur Heat Action Plan, with a special focus on protecting vulnerable groups (e.g. construction workers, miners, slum dwellers) who are at high risk of heat-related illness. The project team launched the Heat Action Plan in March 2023 and is now working with the meteorological authorities to establish a heat warning system.
