Agenda

Close to a half million people already die around the world each year as a result of extreme heat - and that number is expected to soar as climate change brings stronger and longer heatwaves that threaten people's health and jobs as well as putting huge pressure on economies, infrastructure, food production and the way we live.

In this workshop, journalists will discover key areas to investigate, including medical consequences, the impact on vulnerable populations, economic and agricultural effects, impacts on sports and culture, infrastructure challenges with increasing demand for power and water and gender differences in heat vulnerability.
