Extreme heat is intensifying across the Global South. In response, adaptation efforts, ranging from early warning systems to cool roofs- are already underway at household, community, and institutional levels. Yet one critical question remains: How do we know if these are working?

Our work on the Community Driven Heat Solutions Compendium over the past two years surfaced a consistent observation from the solution implementors - most of them are facing challenges in scaling heat adaptation efforts. Many strategies have a potential to scale, but have little evidence on their long-term effectiveness to support growth. Without learning what works, we risk opportunities to prioritise, refine and scale strategies that deliver meaningful outcomes. 

We have created a note compiling insights from workshops and conversations we've held across the Global South in the past few years.
