It’s truly amazing how research areas of interest can expand over time. Here I am sharing on the intersection of climate change & health. Today I engaged on the effects of heat on health care workers with stakeholders. #ClimateAction #climateandhealth #ResearchandDevelopment

Last week I was in Athens for the HIGH Horizons annual meeting. Presented on progress, challenges and lessons from implementing heat adaptation interventions in South African health facilities. Valuable cross-country exchange on translating heat–health evidence into practice.
