Synergies between local climate change, energy consumption of buildings and energy poverty, and health risks highlight the necessity to develop mitigation strategies to counterbalance overheating impacts. The studies presented here assess the underlying issues related to urban overheating. Further, the impacts of temperature extremes on the low-income population and increased morbidity and mortality have been discussed. The increasing intensity, duration, and frequency of heatwaves due to human-caused climate change is shown to affect underserved populations. Thus, housing policies on resident exposure to intra-urban heat have been assessed. Finally, opportunities to mitigate urban overheating have been proposed and discussed.Survivability under Overheating Research and information: generalbicsscair temperatureclimate changeclimate warmingcluster analysiscoastal citiesdiurnal temperature rangedroughtenvironmental justicehealthheatwavelow-income populationMediterraneanmitigationredliningrelative riskresiliencesap flowsemi-aridsoil moisturestandardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI)subtropical desert climatesurvivabilitysynoptic conditionstime-seriestranspiration coolingurban heat islandurban heat islandsurban overheatingwind speed and wind directionsResearch and information: generalSynnefa Afroditiedt1321488Haddad ShamilaedtRajagopalan PriyaedtSantamouris MatthaiosedtSynnefa AfroditiothHaddad ShamilaothRajagopalan PriyaothSantamouris MatthaiosothBOOK9910557295403321Survivability under Overheating3034582UNINA
