COVID-19 amplifies the risks of hot weather, and 2020 is on track to be one of the hottest years on record.

We worked with the Global Heat Health Action Network to develop a briefing note on issues and options to take into consideration when managing the health risks of extreme heat in informal settlements during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The technical briefing document on heat and COVID-19 in Informal Settlements is available here. 

You can access the full information series here.
