Navigating the Heatwave Era: A City Simulation Exercise

 

Welcome to the Registration for the World Health Summit Side Event "Navigating the Heatwave Era: A City Simulation Exercise"

Join us for an engaging and interactive session hosted by the German Federal Ministry of Health and the Global Health Hub Germany on Monday, October 13, 2025, 4:00 - 5:30 PM where you step into the role of an urban decision-maker facing a growing heat crisis.

This tabletop simulation exercise is designed especially for those interested in the topic of heat action plans – including young professionals, students, and anyone working in education or knowledge-sharing roles. No prior experience is needed.

Using the method of serious gaming, you will explore the complex trade-offs and urgent choices required to protect urban populations during extreme heat events. 

Following the simulation, a panel discussion will highlight:

  • The latest developments in heat and health strategies, and
  • Concrete recommendations for action.

Please note that a valid ticket to the WHS is mandatory for participation.

The event will take place in Meeting Room VII on the second floor.

 

We look forward to welcoming you!
