Heat action
An IFRC-Climate Centre flagship report gathers in one place the latest science, research on the perception of risk, and voices from communities affected by heat that is being intensified by climate change. Heatwaves disrupt health, weaken social systems and trigger cascading failures in water, food and electrical and transport infrastructure; in Iraq (2022 library photo at left) and elsewhere, studies have detected climate fingerprints on multiplying dust storms. The new report includes vital public health messaging on heat exhaustion, heatstroke and sunstroke.

Climate services for health
This report examines the contribution of climate services to decision-making in healthcare, exploring barriers and enabling factors that shape implementation. It draws on a review of 45 existing studies and includes four country cases – Bangladesh, Colombia, Malawi and Senegal – to assess governance, leadership, stakeholder engagement, data integration and dissemination.
