Building Resilient Communities: Locally Led Climate and Health Solutions

​As extreme heat intensifies, communities across Asia are finding ways to protect health and livelihoods, especially among smallholder farmers, outdoor workers, and women. This session will draw on ISC’s community-based heat resilience work to share practical, locally led responses to growing climate and health risks.

​Bringing together practitioners, philanthropic organizations, and researchers, the discussion will explore the roles of frontline health workers, community organizations, and cross-sector partnerships. Participants will consider how research and philanthropic support can strengthen local action and help effective solutions reach more communities across the region.
