This symposium will provide an overview of the science behind climate change, heat exposure and health consequences. The example of the 2003 heat wave that killed 15,000 people in France will illustrate the complex interplay of social and behavioral factors resulting in severe outcomes of heat exposure. Recent research on the role of heat and humidity on mortality of dialysis patients will demonstrate effects of a changing climate on patient care and public health. Attend in person or virtually.
