OUR VISION
Heat-resilient communities that protect people’s health and well-being where they live, learn, work, and play
OUR APPROACH
We inform and lead new governance, policy, and program strategies to protect communities and populations vulnerable to heat.
“The Center has helped us policymakers address the growing threat of extreme heat on schoolchildren.”
