Please email Claire Street at cstreet@hsph.harvard.edu to register.\n\n\n\nDescription: As days get hotter and summers longer\, we do not yet know what the impact of this extreme heat exposure will be on the lives and livelihoods of the poorest - the world’s labor force that works outdoors or in poorly ventilated indoor settings. How do global averages of 1.5 and 2 translate to the lived experiences of those most at risk? Our team is working on quantifying the impact of heat and humidity in the microenvironment that the poor work and live in\, on their health\, wellbeing\, and wages. In collaboration with hundreds of workers from the Self Employed Women’s Association\, our interdisciplinary team at the Salata South Asia Climate Adaptation Cluster is following hundreds of workers across indoor and outdoor occupations using microsensors\, biosensors\, and biomarkers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers’ remarks are based on their own scholarship and experience. As such\, they speak for themselves\, not for Harvard University.\n
