How to cope with rising heat? Hear the experts at ST Podcasts Live event

Temperatures are rising due to climate change, and the need to help people—especially those from vulnerable communities—cope with the heat is becoming more urgent.

But with warm temperatures being something that many people living in tropical Singapore are already accustomed to, at what point does the heat become a public health risk?

And how is Singapore taking steps to protect people with high exposure to heat, such as outdoor workers?

Join a timely dialogue with experts on the issue at the fourth ST Podcasts Live event on Aug 12, which will be held at local clothes swapping boutique The Fashion Pulpit in Jalan Besar.

Titled "Heat Stress & Us," the dialogue is part of The Straits Times’ Green Pulse podcast, which provides a South-east Asian perspective on climate change and environmental issues.

New episodes are aired on every first and third Tuesday of the month.

ST deputy foreign editor David Fogarty and assistant news editor Audrey Tan, who co-host Green Pulse, will be speaking with Associate Professor Jason Lee, director of the Heat Resilience and Performance Centre at the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.
