About this session
Wellcome and partners will launch a global call to action urging decision-makers to protect women and babies from the health impacts of extreme heat. The call to action will set out three evidence-based recommendations and highlight the people and solutions already making a difference around the world. The evidence is strong enough to act; now we need a global response to meet the scale of the challenge.
