Protecting children from extreme heat starts with the right message, delivered at the right time. This webinar explores effective risk communication strategies—like the BEAT the Heat framework—and how they can be tailored to meet the needs of vulnerable groups, including pregnant women and caregivers.
Learn from real-world examples of how governments are using communication to safeguard children’s health and build public awareness amid rising temperatures. This is the first of a three-part webinar series on the child health impacts of extreme heat, organized by the Children’s Environmental Health Collaborative, UNICEF, and the Global Heat Health Information Network (GHHIN) to explore the latest evidence and highlight real-world examples of national and sub-national action.
