Extreme heat is no longer a distant future threat - it’s reshaping our world right now. In this special episode, Emerging interdisciplinary perspectives on extreme heat, we bring together leading experts from across disciplines to explore how rising temperatures are transforming our health, our work, our ecosystems, and our collective wellbeing.

Join Director of Copenhagen Center for Disaster Research, Emmanuel Raju, as he guides a dynamic conversation with an exceptional panel: Francesca de’Donato (Climatologist/Epidemiologist), Shouro Dasgupta (Environmental Economist), John Rand (Global Development Researcher), and Maryam Nastar (Sustainability Scientist).

Together, they unpack the latest scientific insights, on-the-ground experiences, and policy innovations shaping how societies understand and respond to extreme heat. From the global rise of Heat Health Warning Systems, to the hidden impacts of prenatal heat exposure, to lessons from India’s pioneering heat action plans, to the implications for labour forces and biodiversity – this episode delivers a rich, multidimensional exploration of one of the defining challenges of our time.

Whether you’re a researcher, policymaker, practitioner, or simply curious about how extreme heat is altering life on Earth, this conversation offers new perspectives, critical questions, and a deeper understanding of where we go from here. Tune in – and discover why addressing extreme heat demands nothing less than an interdisciplinary approach.
