While you're cooking in the heat this week, do bear this in mind.

This was Brisket, soon after he joined our pack. I want to tell you about him because it was the 40º UK heatwave that did him in, in 2022. And how that changed how I approach heat and why I skipped #LCAW26. Short 🧵

We regret that our event on Extreme Heat: Improving governance and strengthening action around the world has been cancelled due to the red extreme heat warning issued by the UK Met Office. Our apologies to everyone who was planning to attend the event.
