Sweltering Cities

Rising heat is a health emergency that impacts some of our most vulnerable community members. Sweltering Cities works directly with communities in our hottest suburbs to campaign and advocate for more liveable, equitable and sustainable cities. Working at the intersection of health, economic injustice and climate change, we aim to: -Put the voices of people most affected by extreme heat front and centre in media coverage. -Build powerful networks of diverse people and organisations. -Win community campaigns with tangible local benefits. Our vision is for people who live in hot suburbs and homes to have the availability to stay safe in heatwaves, and for our cities to be transformed to reduce carbon emissions and be safe in our future climate. We want to make sure that the benefits of creating healthy cities are shared with everyone, and nobody is left behind in deadly hot homes, baking suburbs or dangerous workplaces.
