Summary:

"Climate change is a serious health threat for many Australians. As extreme heat events worsen, the risk of adverse human health impacts is increasing. Heatwaves can put intense pressure on health services. While the health sector has made significant steps in improving resilience to heatwave events, more needs to be done. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions rapidly and deeply is the best way to protect Australians from worsening extreme heat events."--Publisher.
