Great to present joint work with @profejzrobinson.bsky.social at the @physoc.bsky.social #GCHS2025.

Adaptation including #EWS are partially effective in protecting workers from heat but still insufficient.

Clear scope for government interventions: max temperature regulation & better targeted EWS

Delighted to have the opportunity to engage with @physoc.bsky.social at #GCHS2025
In the picture, my co-author @shourodasgupta.bsky.social, presenting our work on heat and the labourforce

Plenty of scope for better adaptation and worker protection

I’m in London for the next few days at the @physoc.bsky.social Climate & Health Summit.

I’m looking forward to presenting in the air pollution strand on “Aligning the health equity and environmental co-benefits of retrofitting UK homes”.

Air Pollution and Health in LMICs

Power point slide headed: From siloed systems to grounded solutions.

Dr Vu’s talk was for me a highlight at today’s excellent Summit. So inspiring about frontline innovators in Vietnam: how ordinary people find solutions to challenging conditions .

Protect lives; transform resilience; thrive together. #GCH2025. What a brilliant first day. Looking forward to participating in day 2 tomorrow: towards a safer, fairer, more resilient AND kinder future. 🙏 @physoc.bsky.social & @wellcometrust.bsky.social

“This is just the beginning.” That’s how Summit Chair closed the Global Climate and Health Summit.

From heat to funding to resilience, one message rang clear: climate action must protect health. And physiology is central to that mission.

Thanks to all who joined us. @physoc.bsky.social #GCHS2025

Thanks to @physoc.bsky.social for organising an inspiring Global Climate and Health Summit. It was a privilege to participate and I look forward to contributing to the development of actions to mitigate against climate change, air pollution and ensure sustainable nutrition. #GCHS2025

Protecting individuals from food scarcity, heat, and polluted air Innovation ThinkTank participants tell us about their projects to protect individuals from food scarcity, heat, and polluted air.

In our blog posts, meet the nine selected applicants and read about their innovative solutions to tackle climate and health across #GCHS2025’s three strands: #HeatResilience, Sustainable #Nutrition, and #AirPollution and Indoor Air Quality ⬇️
www.physoc.org/blog/protect...

🌟 Nine applicants were selected from the competition. They will now present their projects to global experts on #climate and #health, as well as representatives from industry and funders, to discuss opportunities for interdisciplinary support and backing to develop the ideas.

Earlier this year, we invited proposals for driving the mitigation of and adaptation to #climatechange to protect individuals from food scarcity, heat, and polluted air.
