Human health is significantly impacted by climate change, particularly by increasing temperatures and air pollutants.

Prudence Foundation and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) through its specialist Climate Centre explore the interactions between air pollution, extreme heat and humidity on human health.

Through the findings of the research, we aim to identify gaps, recommend as well as motivate early actions to address the health impact of these environment risks.
