These highly anticipated annual reports will be released the day before on October 20th at 6:30 PM EDT.
The annual global report tracks the impact of climate change on human health and is a product of more than 100 experts from 35 global institutions, and the companion U.S. Brief is supported by over 70 U.S. institutions, organizations, and centers. The 2021 U.S. Brief highlights the converging health crises of extreme heat, droughts, wildfires, and the unequal burdens of climate change.
