Often referred to as the silent killer, extreme heat is one of the most pervasive bi-products of human caused climate change with vulnerable populations being the most impacted. Much research and study has been done to surface the immense challenges extreme heat presents, but what still needs to be done to address these critical issues and how do we best communicate it to have an impact?

Join Ten Across founder Duke Reiter as he talks to heat and resilience experts Kathy Baughman McLeod and David Hondula about their innovative programs and strategies to combat this global crisis including ways to better communicate the urgency, support, and resources needed to adapt to a warming world.
