<p>This online event launched a new report led by the LSE Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment on the growing threat of heat risk in the UK. The report discusses the impacts of extreme heat on health and wellbeing\, the built and natural environment\, infrastructure and the economy\, and explores gaps in national policy on heat. It provides insights from first responders\, local and national government and agencies\, utilities and civil society organisations who had direct experience of the 2022 heatwaves in England.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The event presented findings from the report\, outlined a set of recommendations to enhance the UK’s preparedness to future extreme heat events\, and initiated a dialogue on next steps for this programme of work.</p>
