Understanding and preparing for the predicted 2024 extreme heat season in the Sahel: A collaborative approach
Online
May 7, 2024
Objective
The primary objective of this series of webinars is to raise awareness of the particularity of the predicted extreme heat this year and provide a platform for collaboration and knowledge sharing among meteorological agencies, public health services, disaster managers, researchers and humanitarian actors to enhance preparedness and response efforts.Key Themes
1. Extreme heat trends in the Sahel and outlook for the 2024 Heat Season: An overview of observed and projected trends in temperatures/heat waves in the Sahel region, insights from global climate drivers and forecasts for the April-June 2024 season. 2. Impacts on Public Health and relevant sectors: Review of the state of the research on the impacts of Sahelian extreme heat events, including health impacts on vulnerable populations, impacts on livelihood, water and energy. The availability and access of data across different sectors will be discussed. 3. Preparedness and Response Strategies: Best practices on extreme heat risk management in the Sahel and elsewhere, including early warning early action systems, heat wave action plans, and community outreach initiatives and the role of government and humanitarian organisations.Language

Webinar on Homelessness and Heat: NIHHIS Overlooked and Overburdened Series
Online
Feb 29, 2024
On February 29th, the National Integrated Health Information System (NIHHIS) will continue its Overlooked and Overburdened Webinar Series, which focuses on populations that are disproportionately at risk of heat illness or death but often overlooked in treatment and resilience strategies. Each session provides a deep background level of understanding on the group and what mechanisms contribute to their heightened risk, as well as solutions to address those mechanisms.
This session of the series will focus on extreme heat and homelessness. Speakers from federal agencies, city groups, and community organizations will discuss topics such as the current state of homelessness in the U.S., reasons people experiencing homelessness are at risk of heat-related illness and death, and strategies communities have used to better support this population during heat events. There will be time for Q&A, and resources will be shared to help address heat risk in these groups.
The event will take place on Thursday, 2/29 from 3:00-4:30 pm EST. An American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter will be available for translation throughout the webinar.

Jan 31, 2024
The EXHAUSTION project is inviting you to a webinar with our researchers and relevant stakeholders on the topic.
Wednesday 31 January, 13:00-14:30 CET
Register here for the zoom webinar.
During the webinar we want to explore the following questions:
- How can heat protection and reduction of air pollution (including from wildfires) be included in heat health action planning
- What needs to be considered when adapting heat health action planning to local contexts (e.g. heat health interaction, demography, social inequality, topography & city-planning)?
- Which stakeholders and sectors should be involved?
- What are effective measures for developing a climate-resilient low-emission city and how can these be integrated into a regional or local heat-health action plan?

International Congress of Biometeorology: From Urban to Global Sustainability
Tempe, Arizona, USA
May 14, 2023 - May 17, 2023
Biometeorology is focused on how atmospheric processes across multiple scales impact plant, human, and animal health and well-being. It is thus intrinsically connected to all aspects of urban and global sustainability. We encourage abstract submission on topics including aerobiology, agriculture, air pollution, extreme heat and cold, phenology, forests, animal well-being, urban climate, epidemiology, among others.
