A panel session willl follow, bringing together local and national experts to discuss the impact of extreme heat on farmworkers and examine strategies for abating heat risk among those who labor outdoors. Café participants will explore how a warmer climate is transforming the way individuals work and acknowledge the heightened and urgent need for collaboration among workers, businesses, community organizations, and the government sector in mitigating heat-related health risks.
