Working with organisations from the UK and across the world, The Society has developed a Roadmap for Heat Resilience consensus statement to support initiatives that establish ‘virtuous cycles’ of well-being and productivity, urgently addressing the climate change crisis and enhancing heat resilience, thereby promoting healthier, more prosperous communities.
Our Roadmap for Global Heat Resilience:
Prevention and preparation: Focus on medium- and long-term strategies for the whole population, with a specific focus on vulnerable populations.
Coordinated efforts: Align heat-related activities at all government levels with clear accountability.
Societal engagement: Engage public, private, and voluntary sectors in resilience measures.
Targeted Heat Action Plans: Use vulnerability assessments to focus efforts on those most at risk.
Enhanced collaboration: Foster cooperation across countries, sectors, and scientific disciplines, incorporating transdisciplinary approaches.
Future prosperity and sustainability: Promote sustainability and productivity for a brighter, prosperous and secure future.
