Please join the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) and the International Federation of Red Cross
and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) for the Global Summit on Extreme Heat, which will take place online on Thursday, March 28 at 8:30
AM ET.
2023 marked the hottest year on record,
coinciding with deadly heat waves on nearly every continent, from Pakistan to
Tunisia to Texas. Climate experts predict that extreme heat events will
continue to increase in frequency, resulting in more lives lost and an increase
in risk of other climate disasters such as drought and wildfires.
The Global Summit on Extreme Heat will bring
together leaders and changemakers from across the world to discuss solutions
and strategies to protect communities and workers from extreme heat. Speakers
will include USAID Administrator Samantha Power, IFRC Secretary General Jagan
Chapagain, and leaders from across the globe who are developing innovative
solutions to lessen the impacts of extreme heat events and increase climate
preparedness plans for all, saving lives and mitigating costs.
The virtual summit will be livestreamed and
open to all.
