Elspeth Oppermann presented the initial results of the Covid-Heat Nexus survey at the 8th Global Dialogue platform, in a session put together by the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre and the Global Heat Health Information network. 

As part of our engagement on COVID-19, in August 2020 the Cool Infrastructures project completed a rapid, large scale data collection exercise across four cities in India, Pakistan, Cameroon and Indonesia. The exercise was intended to produce critical information and resources about the nexus of Covid-19 and extreme heat for particularly vulnerable urban populations. 

Open access dataset: Cool Infrastructures has made available a large, multi-country dataset on heat and Covid-19.
