Risk screening methods for extreme heat: Implications for equity-oriented adaptation

Abstract: Morbidity and mortality impacts of extreme heat amplified by climate change will be unequally distributed among communities given pre-existing differences in socioeconomic, health, and environmental conditions. Many governments are interested in adaptation policies that target those especially vulnerable to the risks, but there are important questions about how to effectively identify and support communities most in need of heat adaptations. Here, we use an equity-oriented adaptation program from the state of … Show more

“…Lastly, climate change is also associated with more frequent extreme heat conditions (Turek-Hankins et al, 2020). By 2050, Florida will be needing electricity at 50%−60% higher than the current demand level.…”

“…It may require differentiated policies to protect vulnerable individual and groups. Health equity is crucial for effective adaptation to urban heat to protect the vulnerable (Turek-Hankins et al, 2020;IPCC, 2023). Applying health equity in law can help safeguard vulnerable populations and allocate resources according to need.…”

“…En consecuencia, la vulnerabilidad acumulativa de las personas únicamente se puede comprender y abordar a través de múltiples escalas de análisis (p. ej., Turek-Hankins et al 2020 86 ) y mediante estrategias integradas de vivienda, planificación, servicios sociales, préstamos y justicia racial.…”

“…En primer lugar, existe un amplio consenso en la literatura sobre el hecho de que el cambio climático impactará de forma desproporcionada grupos ya sobrecargados (declaración 1), como se ha evaluado recientemente en el exhaustivo Sexto Informe de Evaluación del Grupo Intergubernamental de Expertos sobre el Cambio Climático, Grupo de Trabajo II 69 . En segundo lugar, múltiples estudios con un alto grado de acuerdo entre ellos han documentado la falta de dinámica social y política en los modelos de sistemas complejos y las limitaciones derivadas del aislamiento sectorial, regional y jurisdiccional y disciplinarios de las evaluaciones de vulnerabilidad y riesgo (declaración 2) 3,86,87,88,89,90,242 . Algunos análisis de sistemas complejos han dado los primeros pasos en la incorporación de dinámicas sociales y políticas (p.…”
