Collections are curated series of Climate Insights that offer a more holistic and continuous understanding of urgent climate topics. Each collection connects the dots across related insights to reveal broader patterns, deeper questions, and evolving conversations.
If you are interested in proposing a curated Collection, whether for Penn-wide access or for use within a specific course or learning context, our team can generate a custom link for your collection. Please complete our Collection Request Form or contact us directly to get started.
Climate change increases the intensity and frequency of heat events, thus affecting dogs' health. This collection explores how heat and humidity impact dogs' natural temperature regulation, signs and biology of heat illness, and evidence-based ways to provide immediate relief to overheated dogs.
Many people in the United States and around the world believe that climate change is real, yet many do not act on these beliefs in their daily lives. To better understand how to motivate climate action, a team of Penn researchers conducted an intervention tournament testing 17 psychological strategies. This collection feature three exercises adapted from the tournament’s most effective interventions and the key insights they revealed.
This collection brings together a set of short video and written Insights that explore the many dimensions of extreme heat, including its complex interactions with both human and non-human systems, its far-reaching consequences, and the ways in which its impacts can be mitigated. By connecting scientific findings with practical solutions, the collection aims to deepen understanding of extreme heat as not only an environmental issue, but a defining challenge for societies and systems worldwide.
