On Thursday, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres announced a Call to Action on extreme heat.

Arsht-Rock Resilience Center Global Chief Heat Officer Eleni Myrivili contributed to the Call to Action, and calls it “an important milestone for climate resilience” but “also only the beginning.”

The Atlantic Council's Ashley Semler breaks down what's in the Call to Action and what it means for the global fight against climate change.
