Task 3
Heat-Safe Messaging
‘Heat-health literacy is essential for reducing the health impacts of extreme heat and hot weather on human health. A co-designed and collaborative approach to heat-health messaging with communities ensures that everyone has the knowledge and tools to stay safe in the heat. This approach is crucial, as heat-health messaging needs to be tailored to different population groups and made accessible to all.’
Task
Create heat-safe messaging for a specific group in your local community.
We encourage you to be creative and to use storytelling (visual, written or spoken). You can share your project at the 50°C Climate Summit on 11 April 2025.
To complete this task you will need to consider:
1. Audience and Medium
- Think carefully about who you are designing for (for example, primary school students, your peers, locals who frequent a specific place).
- What medium will be most effective for this group of people. What local options are available to them (eg cooling centres, splash parks and so on)?
