Heatwaves, intensified by climate change
are becoming more frequent
in the UK and beyond.

Empowering your learners
with the knowledge and skills
to support themselves and others is vital.

During heatwaves
public health is a concern,
especially for vulnerable groups
such as elderly people, children and those
with pre-existing health conditions.

The Weather Together
toolkit supports learners
to protect themselves
and others during a heatwave.

Heatwaves serve as a wake-up
call to take action on climate change.

We can create a resilient future
where people are prepared for
and can cope with heatwaves.

The Weather Together
teaching resources equips your learners
with essential skills,
knowledge and confidence
to tackle extreme weather challenges.
