Extremes in temperature, especially heat extremes, are already one of the deadliest meteorological events and they are projected to increase in intensity and frequency due to rising CO2 concentrations. The resulting risks of extreme temperature events to society may increase dramatically with large regional differences, and society will need to adapt locally if the worst impacts are to be avoided. Specifically on health impacts from extremes in temperature, exposure to cold and heat remains as one of the leading causes of deaths from natural hazards globally, with the total (cold and heat)-related deaths projected to increase in a warming world. In recent years, extreme heat events in particular have tested the preparedness of public health services, with a recent study estimating over 70,000 heat-related excess deaths in Europe alone during the summer of 2022. While our understanding of city-level temperature-related health impacts in the present climate has improved, how future health-burden in a warming climate can evolve continues to remain a daunting challenge, especially when accounting for adaptation and changes in future socio-demographic factors at different spatial scales. Moreover, warming trends and the associated health risks vary regionally and are often associated with uncertainties emanating both from modelling strategies in health-impacts assessments and the projected temperatures from climate models.

This session therefore welcomes a broad range of new research addressing the challenge of extreme heat and its impacts, with studies focusing on the Global South particularly welcome. Suitable contributions may: (i) assess definitions, the drivers and underlying processes of extreme heat in observations and/or models; (ii) explore the diverse socio-economic impacts of extreme heat events including vulnerability and exposure for example, on aspects relating to human health, economic productivity, or biodiversity; (iii) address forecasting and monitoring of extreme heat at seasonal to sub-seasonal time scales; (iv) focus on societal adaptation to extreme heat, including the implementation of anticipatory action, heat-health early warning systems, and effective heat adaptation and management solutions; (v) introduce transdisciplinary research frameworks to assess societal relevant heat extremes and their impacts.
