Today in Berlin, we launched WHO’s new Heat–Health Action Plans Guidance – a practical roadmap to help countries, regions and cities protect people from extreme heat.
I was pleased to launch it together with 🇩🇪Federal Environment Minister
@schneidercar and Berlin Senator Dr Ina Czyborra, as well as 🇪🇺 Commissioner
@WBHoekstra and
@UN Assistant Secretary-General
@SelwinHart, who joined us online.
Europe is warming faster than any other continent. More than 200,000 people across the Region have died from heat in just the past 4 years. We can prevent these deaths with the right systems in place.
The Guidance is available here:
