The climate crises is turning up the heat around the world.
People living in cities and towns tend to be the hardest hit because urban areas are generally hotter than the surrounding countryside.
On today's Heat Action Day, we call upon officials and leaders particularly in cities to make proactive plans to #BeatTheHeat.
