After reading, reflect on the main risks that high temperatures pose to your health and search the internet on your favourite search engine for actions that can be taken and the benefits that can result from those actions.
On a sheet of paper, summarise the information gathered, in bullets, in a list identifying the actions you can take to reduce the impacts of high temperatures on human health.
Based on what you have learned about the risks of high temperatures for human health and the outcome of your reflection, mark the three actions you think you can take in order to contribute to minimising its negative effects.
After finalizing your short note, we suggest that you make a list of the top 5 priorities and address it to your “bosses” – this can be your teacher, your boss, your mayor, etc. Ask their opinion about the topic, measure their knowledge about climate change.
