With the world currently on track for 2.7°C of heating by 2100, and energy-related emissions reaching a new record high in 2022, the lives of current and future generations hang in the balance.

Immensely proud to have such forward-thinking and visionary researchers in our community. 👏
Congratulations to Professor @ollie_jay13 and team at the @HeatHealth_USYD for their invaluable contributions to addressing the growing concern of extreme heat and its impact on our communities.
🌡️ In July 2023, 80% of the earth’s population would have experienced abnormally hot temperatures. In @BBCStoryWorks series #TheClimateandUs, Prof @ollie_jay13 discusses the increasing concern of extreme heat and how @HeatHealth_USYD is helping the physiologically vulnerable.

Great to see @HeatHealth_USYD Theme Leader and Thermal Ergonomics Laboratory Deputy Director @DrYorgiMavros featured @nhmrc for his Ideas grant examining the intersection between overnight #heat stress and mosquito-borne disease risk #LeadershipForGood @BurnsSyd @syd_health
Insecticide-treated bed nets can prevent mosquito-borne diseases. “However … feeling too hot to sleep comfortably is the primary reason for not using bed nets,” says Dr Yorgi Mavros (@Sydney_Uni), whose research aims to determine how fans can be used to improve thermal comfort.
