The Salata Institute and the Harvard Alumni Association invite you to the latest installment of Harvard Voices on Climate Change, a virtual series featuring Harvard faculty and fellows on different dimensions of the climate challenge.

Featuring Satchit Balsari, Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at Harvard Medical School, this session will explore the growing threat of extreme heat and its impact on human health. From the risks facing workers and vulnerable communities to the mounting pressures on health systems and cities, the discussion will examine how rising temperatures are reshaping public health—and what can be done to better protect people in a warming world.
