The Bebrit project is about learning, comparison and exchange to facilitate the pace of adaptation to extreme heat and ensure the most vulnerable people and places are protected. Resources are an important part of this and here we will share a broad range of materials (policy documents, reports, briefings, academic articles, media and social media, films, photographs etc).
Evidence Report
This evidence report, published in February 2024, is based on research conducted by the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, PCAN, Silent Spring Consultants and the British Red Cross in England during the 2022 heatwaves.
