It's my pleasure to provide the Water Utility Climate Alliance (WUCA) with leadership and management support, so I'm excited to share their 2024 Annual Report. With the help of organizations like US Water Alliance, Aspen Global Change Institute, The Water Research Foundation (WRF), Pathways Climate Institute, EPA's Creating Resilient Water Utilities Initiative, and more, WUCA was able to develop informative resources and trainings on climate adaptation best practices for water leaders. WUCA shares these resources with the water sector and climate adaptation professionals, so check out their website for more information on specific projects.

Heat-related illnesses and fatalities are preventable, but outdoor workers, farmworkers, and other climate-sensitive populations often have little choice when it comes to heat exposure on the job.

Please join Aspen Global Change Institute, in person or online, for “PROTECTING OUTDOOR WORKERS: SOLUTIONS FOR EXTREME HEAT EXPOSURE,” a free talk by Nurse-Scientist and Worker Safety Advocate Dr. Roxana Chicas, PhD, RN, FAAN, Emory University. Dr. Chicas will explore the impact of working outdoors in high temperatures and discuss potential solutions to protect outdoor workers from heat stress. The talk will be followed by an audience Q&A and reception.
