@aditimukherji @CGIAR @ri_montu Yes, heatwaves are becoming more frequent and long-lasting, but we have to be absolutely clear and sure about the impacts on the health of humans and animals.

We don't talk enough, or do enough research on impacts of heat waves on agriculture and on farmers and livestock. This is an under-ressarched field and the @CGIAR and others needs to do more. Great article by @ri_montu

Great to know that #AR7 will look at adaptation indicators and metrics. I always thought that the dominant discourse among academia based scholars that #adaptation effectiveness cannot/must not be measured has done great harm to the field as well as those who need to adapt most.
