As we approach summer, temperatures are already rising and impacting the health and safety of our communities. Extreme heat is the most dangerous climate-related threat in the United States. It’s a public health emergency hiding in plain sight – one that disproportionately affects lower-income communities, outdoor workers, BIPOC, unhoused people, the elderly, children, and pregnant people.

We can act to address these risks – every death from extreme heat is preventable.

Global Heat Action Day, June 2, 2025, is a moment of hope – a time to lift up local leadership, share proven solutions, and build stronger, more resilient communities together. We are collaborating with the American Public Health Association to host the Local Solutions to Protect Communities webinar. Join us at 3pm ET | 12 PM PT on Monday, June 2 for this one hour webinar featuring health professionals, faith leaders, and community advocates, at the frontlines of addressing extreme heat.

Extreme heat is more than just a weather issue – it’s a community crisis. A lack of tree canopy, unsafe housing, limited access to cooling, and chronic health conditions all compound risks and harms. The most effective solutions often come from the local level and we want to help you bring those solutions to your own communities.

If you are a health professional, community leader, policymaker, or anyone working at the intersection of climate, health, and equity, this event is for you. Whether you’re looking to start a new heat resilience initiative or strengthen existing work, we invite you to learn, connect, and act on extreme heat this Global Heat Action Day.

Together, we can protect our communities from the rising threat of extreme heat and build a healthier, more equitable future for all.
