This symposium will provide a half day of learning, network development, and practical exploration of key topics such as disaster preparedness, capacity management, specialty-specific changes in clinical practice, and decarbonization of the clinical environment.

This webinar looks at how managing wildfires, especially through cultural burning and climate-smart forestry, is being combined with Indigenous food sovereignty initiatives to strengthen resilience, protect ecosystems, and support community well-being. The session will highlight practical lessons and opportunities for cross-sector or agency collaboration in climate adaptation and public health.

SCORCH is excited to partner with City of Tucson/Tucson Resilient Together and Pima County Health Department, cohosting a booth under the "Science of You" neighborhood tent.  Our booth, "Desert Climate & Environment: Your Health Matters," will feature hands-on activities to engage youth of all ages and adults to increase their awareness of the risks of extreme heat to all living creatures and educate them on strategies for mitigating these risks. Please be sure to stop by to say hello and try your hand at our climate & health trivia game and other activities!

This webinar will explore community-system technologies and strategies for resilient cooling and their benefits for community-wide energy reliability, grid resilience, and extreme heat preparedness. Participants will hear directly from experts on targeted solutions and the policy levers needed to scale up their broad adoption.
