Event Details

Join us for Extreme Heat: Myths, Risks, and What Communities Can Do, A Climate Discussion with Dr. Ashley Ward on Thursday, April 16th at 6:30pm at Main Library in Hillsborough at Main Library in Hillsborough located at 137 West Margaret Lane, Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278. 

Extreme heat is now the leading cause of weather-related death in the United States, yet it remains one of the least understood climate risks. In this talk, Dr. Ashley Ward, Director of the Heat Policy Innovation Hub at Duke University’s Nicholas Institute, will provide attendees with a clearer understanding of heat risk and actionable ideas for responding as a community. This event is part of the Hillsborough Climate Challenge.

Hillsborough Climate Challenge (HCC) is a month-long series of events for all ages that presents practical and accessible things people can do in their everyday lives to combat climate change. Though HCC events occur at venues all over town, a number of them will take place at Main Library located at 137 West Margaret Lane, Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278
