A coalition of global philanthropies has pledged US$300 million
to tackle the rising health threats caused by extreme heat, air pollution and climate change, announced at the latest climate summit. The funding will support innovations in public health, infrastructure adaptation and early-warning systems in regions most vulnerable to heat-driven illness. Leaders emphasized this as a critical next step in protecting populations from an accelerating climate crisis that is now also a direct public-health emergency.
