This virtual summit will bring together global leaders and changemakers to discuss solutions and strategies to protect communities and workers from extreme heat.
USAID Administrator Samantha Power and IFRC Secretary General Jagan Chapagain will be joined by government, philanthropic, and private sector leaders from across the globe who are developing innovative solutions to lessen the impacts of extreme heat events and increase climate preparedness plans for all, saving lives.
