Dear CHIFA members
If you are able, please complete this global survey being carried out by UK's Royal College of Paediatrics and Child health (RCPCH) on the impact of global heating on children and child health. Currently little is known about the severity of these effects and hence insufficient planning for adaptation is being carried out. Hence this survey will be of great value and is being sent out through all networks possible, to child health professionals around the world. Thank you for your assistance!
