What We Do.
Understanding Heat. Protecting Generations.
We are an international research consortium studying how heat affects pregnant and postpartum women, newborns, young children, and the health workers who serve them – an often-overlooked issue in plans for climate action.
We are a consortium of scientists across 10 countries in Europe and sub-Saharan Africa, researching to increase knowledge about how heat is affecting pregnant and postpartum women, newborns, children, and the health workers who serve them – information vital to protecting these groups from increasing heat across the globe.
