The power of collective action to prevent heat death | Nathaniel Matthews-Trigg | TEDxBoston
During extreme heat events, life or death often comes down to a simple knock on a neighbor's door. As temperatures soar globally, our individual actions won't protect us from the deadliest climate threat. Heat waves kill more people than hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes combined in the U.S. - yet we're trying to survive them alone. Through compelling stories and data, discover how building community networks and collective action can transform our heat resilience. From neighborhood check-ins to city-wide initiatives, learn how every person plays a vital role in protecting our most vulnerable when extreme heat strikes. Nathaniel Matthews-Trigg is the Associate Director of Climate and Disaster Resilience at Americares, founding board member of Healthy Climate New Mexico, and Affiliate Instructor at the University of Washington Center for Health and the Global Environment.
