Sweltering Cities is a non-profit organization based in Australia dedicated to addressing the impacts of heatwaves and advocating for climate justice. The organization focuses on the intersection of climate change, health, and economic inequality, aiming to create more liveable, equitable, and sustainable urban environments. They highlight the severe effects of heatwaves, particularly on marginalized communities that struggle to cope with extreme temperatures. The mission of Sweltering Cities is to empower communities facing extreme heat by sharing their stories and organizing campaigns for climate action. They engage directly with residents in hot suburbs to advocate for policy changes that prevent heat-related illnesses. Their efforts include campaigning for climate justice, promoting energy-efficient housing, and pushing for updates in building standards to prepare cities for a warming climate. Through partnerships with local councils and national organizations, Sweltering Cities works to foster community-driven solutions and enhance resilience against heatwaves.
