A new study using data from one billion mobile phones has shown how wealth and age create a hidden divide in how people respond to heatwaves.
The data showed whether people were able to stay at home or forced to travel for work and essentials.

Journey of a thousand miles begins with one step!
Last week @SyriaUnfpa and partners took a bold first step to explore solutions to strengthen Syria’s #population #data systems. After 14 years of conflict, massive population displacements and limited investment in robust data systems, now is the time to rebuild #Syria statistical system & a culture of data driven planning and decision making. #UNFPA #Syria brought together key national institutions, @UNESCWA and WorldPop in coordination with the Planning and Statistical Commission.
Delighted to have witnessed the beginning of a promising partnership.
