Thank you Neil - the UNICEF technical note is particularly useful!

Others may be interested in the work of the Harvard Centre for the Developing Child in thinking through the impacts and potential strategies for addressing extreme heat in - and through - early childhood development programmes/centres: https://developingchild.harvard.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/ECSCEE-He...

Lori Lake is commissioning editor at the Children's Institute, University of Cape Town in South Africa. Professional interests: I convene our child rights and advocacy courses for Health and allied professionals, and co-chair the advocacy committee in the Department of Paediatrics and Child Health. I am interested in how children's rights can serve as a "language of critique" and a "language of possibility" that enables paediatricians to listen more deeply to children in their care, to consider the contexts in which they live, and to take action to improve the quality of care and to address the broader social determinants of health. lori.lake AT uct.ac.za
