TerraGreen - June - July 2024

In this issue

In this article, Dr Richa Sharma discusses the adverse public health implications of heatwaves in India. Heatwaves exacerbate chronic conditions, increase hospital admissions, and strain the already burdened healthcare system. They also impact India’s food security and economic stability. She highlights that several Indian states have pioneered Heat Action Plans (HAPs), which are comprehensive frameworks designed to minimize the health effects of heatwaves by preparing, responding, and adapting to their rising frequency and intensity. By combining government initiatives, community engagement, and climateadaptive strategies, we can mitigate the impacts of heatwaves and safeguard public health.
