Throughout the world, heat waves are becoming more frequent and intense because of continued climate change. Across Boston University, researchers are working to better understand the impacts of extreme heat on our health and wellbeing and what communities and individuals can do about it.

In celebration of Earth Day, join BU professors as part of the University’s “Real Life Justice League” of climate change superheroes working in energy, green space, community, cities, and public health for a dynamic conversation on how the world is warming, what it means for public health, and solutions on the horizon.

To register virtually, please visit the online event registration page.

The lecture will be presented in person and virtually. This webinar is open to all members of the BU community including alumni, students, faculty, and staff.
