Understanding Extreme Heat
C-HEAT is a partnership between GreenRoots and Boston University focused on heat exposure, public health, and community resilience.
Why This Matters
Extreme heat is an increasing public health risk, especially in communities facing environmental and economic challenges. C-HEAT focuses on understanding these impacts and supporting solutions that protect vulnerable populations, including workers.
