Meteorologists have once again reported new heat records for the summer of 2024, as global warming becomes a direct health risk for many people. The CAS lecture series “Extreme Heat” addresses the subject from an interdisciplinary perspective: discussions are held on issues such as problems of water management, transnational refugee movements and possibilities for political communication. At the opening event, Karsten Friedrich (DWD), Annette Peters (LMU/Helmholtz) and Christina Berndt (SZ) will illustrate the consequences of climate change for humankind.

The lecture series is part of the CAS Research Focus Planetary Health.
