At this webinar you'll hear from an incredible panel of speakers about the impact of extreme heat, where people are falling through the cracks, and what a good heat plan looks like for community, organisations, and government.

Speakers to be announced soon!

 

Who should join?
This webinar is for anyone interested in learning about health crisis of rising temperatures and how we can all work together to keep ourselves safe and advocate for solutions. Whether you’ve come to our events in the past, or are new to our work, we'd love to see you there.

Why you should come along
Extreme heat is the deadliest environmental disaster in Australia. It is one of the most urgent challenges communities all across the country are facing. As temperatures rise, and more people are at risk, it's important that we come together to learn about who is most at risk, and the solutions that we can take back to our local communities to keep each other safe and raise awareness.

We hope you will be part of this important conversation. See you online on February 4th!
