HEAT HEALTH CLIMATE Workshop — March 17 in Blum Hall

On March 17, BCCN and Berkeley Law’s CLEE, with funding from the School of Public Health, brought 60+ Berkeley/LBL researchers and Bay Area heat/health/climate practitioners together to inspire and inform on strategies for a more heat resilient Bay Area. The half-day workshop in Blum Hall was the first step in a larger Bay Area initiative on heat/health projects and research studies. The slide deck, including lightning presentations by 14 participants, is here. The 10-page handout on projects and research studies is here. The agenda is here and the list of attendees with contact info is here. Most importantly, here is the draft memo on NEXT STEPS for this exciting new working group.
