This publication examines opportunities for pursuing pro-poor urban
resilience initiatives to reduce the increasing impacts of heat
stress faced by urban populations in Asia and the Pacific. Cities
in the region are increasingly at risk of heat waves, which are
expected to be more severe and persistent due to global warming.
The urban poor are especially vulnerable to heat stress and
associated health and productivity impacts as they often work
outdoors and tend to live in overcrowded housing without adequate
ventilation or cooling. The publication emphasizes that policies
and investments to address heat stress in cities need to be based
on long-term planning and actions at all scales: individual and
household, neighborhood, and city.
