    Joining the Global Heat Health Information Network (GHHIN) Management Committee

    Excited to share I have accepted an invitation from the World Meteorological Organization to serve as a core member of the Global Heat Health Information Network (GHHIN)‘s Management Committee! GHHIN’s mission is to build global capacity to protect populations from the avoidable health risks of extreme heat conditions. I look forward to working with and learning from the other committee members, staff, and broader GHHIN network to help address extreme heat and better protect health in communities across the world.

    GHHIN’ pillars support coordinated information and action to reduce the impact of heat on health worldwide.

    Masterclass: Innovations in heat planning research and practice

    As part of the Global Heat Health Information Network (GHHIN)‘s virtual forum this summer, I organized a masterclass on urban planning and governance for heat-health for June 16, 2020. With Roop Singh moderating, myself, Sara Meerow, Dave Hondula, and Ryan Winkle presented on the current state and innovations in urban planning, design and governance for extreme heat with examples from our research and community projects.

    The first two lectures by myself and Sara Meerow, PhD, include:

    Innovations in Heat Planning Research and Planning – Part A, presented by Ladd Keith, PhD
    Innovations in Heat Planning Research and Planning – Part B, presented by Sara Meerow, PhD
