Parts of NW ON facing 2 climate-related health risks today - #ExtremeHeat & wildfire smoke. When indoor settings lack mechanical cooling it's challenging to follow public health advice - When there is an extreme heat event occurring with poor air quality, prioritize keeping cool.

#ExtremeHeat warning for northwestern Ontario means kids are heading into hot classrooms this week, diminishing their ability to focus and learn, and posing risks to their health. We need cool classrooms to protect children's health https://t.co/9UnJSfLGgB

Canada is not alone when it comes to pollution pricing.

There are 75 different countries and regions around the world using carbon pricing systems to lower emissions and grow the economy! 🌱🌎

Clear recommendations/actions needed to protect child health & well-being from climate change impacts #ClimateAction. Public Health Professionals have an important role - vulnerability assessments, health promotion, policy advocacy @OPHA_Ontario @ciphi_national @CIPHI_Ontario

UNICEF Report - Clear evidence that children continue to bear the burden of climate impacts. We must reduce emissions to meet the 1.5C threshold, protect children from the impacts of climate change, and prioritize child health in #ClimateAction @CPCHE_info

[UNICEF @UNICEF]

Countries must deliver #ClimateAction that upholds children’s right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment by reducing emissions and fulfilling climate change agreements. https://t.co/5z3xgi0yj5

Now is a dark and scary time to remind you all that the Doug Ford government has weakened conservation authorities, the very bodies designed to protect us against the worst impacts of flooding (which will get worse and more intense due to climate change)

[Fatima Syed / @fatimabsyed.bsky.social @fatimabsyed]

To those arguing today's rain has nothing to do with climate change: the Doug Ford gov't conducted the first Ontario-wide climate study and found extreme precipitation is going to become more extreme and, without climate action, have devastating impacts.
