The World Meteorological Organisation reported that last month saw another extreme weather milestone with the world’s hottest day on recent record registered on 22 July – yet another indication of the extent to which greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are changing our climate.

This gives rise to a Call to Action on extreme heat - not just by limiting our GHG emissions, but dealing with the side effects of that, including caring for the vulnerable, protecting workers and boosting resilience of economies, who see a reduction in cultivation of food and an increase in poverty, as a result of extreme heat.
