When
Heatwaves are becoming more frequent, longer, hotter and deadlier due to the climate crisis. Heat Action Day (HAD) 2025 is set to be held on Monday, June 2nd, 2025 and is a global event hosted by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
Heat Action Day is a global event that seeks to engage hundreds of Red Cross and Red Crescent branches, cities, and other organizations around the world, to raise public awareness about the rising risks associated with extreme heat and inspire simple actions to prevent impacts through a coordinated day of action.
The 2025 theme is focused around recognising heat exhaustion and heat stroke. We invite participants to be creative in engaging your local community in demonstrating how to recognise the symptoms, and what to do to help.
