boosting resilience of economies and societies using data and science, and limiting temperature rise to 1.5\u2103 by phasing out fossil fuels and scaling up investment in renewable energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It brings together the expertise and perspectives of ten speci<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>alised UN entities, underscoring the diverse multi-sectoral impacts of extreme heat on human health, lives, and livelihoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>The WMO community is committed to responding to the UN Secretary-General\u2019s Call<\/strong>&nbsp;to Action with better heat-health early
