Guest speakers are Kiswendsida Guigma and Hunter M. Jones. 

Kiswendsida Guigma is a climate scientist with expertise in climate risk, anticipatory action and climate-conflict nexus, in addition to a profound research interest in heat waves. His focus areas include West Africa and the Sahel region. He also has experience working with national meteorological and hydrological services, engaging them in humanitarian work. 

Hunter M. Jones is the National Integrated Heat Health Information System Program Manager for the Climate Program Office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Hunter is focused on applied community-based climate and health research. He led the development of the Urban Heat Island Citizen Science Field Campaign program at NOAA, which recently supported the mapping of heat in Sierra Leone. That campaign empowered communities to understand how heat is distributed and provide informed action to develop equitable climate resilience.
