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 & information: generalbicsscMediterraneansemi-ariddroughtstandardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI)climate warmingsoil moistureurban heat islandsenvironmental justiceclimate changeredliningheatwavediurnal temperature rangetime-seriesrelative riskhealthtranspiration coolingcoastal citiessap flowsubtropical desert climateurban overheatingcluster analysisair temperaturewind speed and wind directionssynoptic conditionsurban heat islandmitigationresiliencesurvivabilitylow-income populationResearch & information: generalSynnefa Afroditiedt1321488Haddad ShamilaedtRajagopalan PriyaedtSantamouris MatthaiosedtSynnefa AfroditiothHaddad ShamilaothRajagopalan PriyaothSantamouris MatthaiosothBOOK9910557295403321Survivability under Overheating3034582UNINA
