IS ABOUT PEOPLE

Digital Campaigns

We share daily updates, myth-busting infographics, and action on heat alerts through @heatwaveact to educate and mobilize the public.

Capacity-building
Workshops

Train youth leaders on heat wave science, advocacy, and legal literacy through webinars, fieldwork, and mentorship sessions. Our areas of focus are:

• Challenging harmful heat narratives

• Emphasizing the need for inclusive and compassionate narratives

• Breaking out of the Global North climate discourse

• Looking at heat as a cause and/or contributor to socio-economic risks and impacts
