2023 was the hottest year on record. NOAA has reported a 1-in-3 chance that 2024 will be hotter still. As we near the summer months, discussing the health and equity implications of extreme heat and identifying resilience measures is more vital than ever. In a webinar this Friday, Dr. Chris Uejio, an Associate Professor and Director of Geography Graduate Programs at Florida State University, will share his knowledge and expertise around climate change adaptation. He joins Dr. Cheryl Holder, Founder and Interim Executive Director of Florida Clinicians For Climate Action, who will discuss the extensive work she has done around heat equity.
