Le faible statut socio-économique a été largement reconnu comme un facteur important pour accroître la vulnérabilité d'une personne au changement climatique, y compris la vulnérabilité aux changements de température. Pourtant, on sait peu de choses sur l'exposition à la chaleur dans les villes des pays en développement, et encore moins sur l'exposition dans les quartiers informels de ces pays. Cet article présente une évaluation de l'exposition à la chaleur extérieure dans les villes sud-asiatiques de Delhi, Dhaka et Faisalabad. L'évolution temporelle de l'exposition à la chaleur est évaluée, ainsi que les différences intra-urbaines, à l'aide de mesures météorologiques provenant d'appareils mobiles et fixes (avril-septembre 2016). L'exposition à la chaleur est comparée entre les quartiers à faible revenu et les autres quartiers de ces villes. Les résultats sont exprimés en termes de température de l'air et en termes d'indices thermiques Heat Index (HI), Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) et Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) au niveau de la marche. Des conditions classées comme dangereuses à très dangereuses, et susceptibles d'entraver la productivité, sont observées presque tous les jours de la période de mesure pendant la journée, même lorsque la température de l'air baisse après le début de la mousson. Il est recommandé de lancer des avertissements de chaleur en termes d'indices thermiques au lieu de simplement de température. Nos résultats nuancent l'idée que les personnes vivant dans des quartiers informels sont systématiquement plus exposées à la chaleur que les personnes vivant dans des quartiers plus prospères. Pendant la nuit, l'exposition a tendance à être améliorée dans les quartiers informels densément construits, mais pas si les quartiers à faible revenu sont plus ouverts ou s'ils sont intégrés dans des zones vertes/bleues. El bajo nivel socioeconómico ha sido ampliamente reconocido como un factor importante para aumentar la vulnerabilidad de una persona al cambio climático, incluida la vulnerabilidad a los cambios de temperatura. Sin embargo, se sabe poco sobre la exposición al calor dentro de las ciudades en los países en desarrollo, y aún menos sobre la exposición dentro de los barrios informales en esos países. Este documento presenta una evaluación de la exposición al calor exterior en las ciudades del sur de Asia Delhi, Dhaka y Faisalabad. Se evalúa la evolución temporal de la exposición al calor, así como las diferencias intraurbanas, utilizando mediciones meteorológicas desde dispositivos móviles y estacionarios (abril-septiembre 2016). La exposición al calor se compara entre los barrios de bajos ingresos y otros barrios de estas ciudades. Los resultados se expresan en términos de temperatura del aire y en términos de los índices térmicos Heat Index (HI), Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) y Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) a nivel de marcha. Las condiciones clasificadas como peligrosas a muy peligrosas, y que pueden impedir la productividad, se observan casi todos los días del periodo de medición durante el día, incluso cuando la temperatura del aire desciende después del inicio del monzón. Se recomienda emitir advertencias de calor en términos de índices térmicos en lugar de solo temperatura. Nuestros resultados matizan la idea de que las personas que viven en barrios informales están constantemente más expuestas al calor que las personas que viven en barrios más prósperos. Durante la noche, la exposición tiende a mejorar en los barrios informales densamente construidos, pero no si los barrios de bajos ingresos son más abiertos o si están incrustados en áreas verdes/azules. Low socio-economic status has been widely recognized as a significant factor in enhancing a person's vulnerability to climate change including vulnerability to changes in temperature. Yet, little is known about exposure to heat within cities in developing countries, and even less about exposure within informal neighbourhoods in those countries. This paper presents an assessment of exposure to outdoor heat in the South Asian cities Delhi, Dhaka, and Faisalabad. The temporal evolution of exposure to heat is evaluated, as well as intra-urban differences, using meteorological measurements from mobile and stationary devices (April–September 2016). Exposure to heat is compared between low-income and other neighbourhoods in these cities. Results are expressed in terms of air temperature and in terms of the thermal indices Heat Index (HI), Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) and Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) at walking level. Conditions classified as dangerous to very dangerous, and likely to impede productivity, are observed almost every day of the measurement period during daytime, even when air temperature drops after the onset of the monsoon. It is recommended to cast heat warnings in terms of thermal indices instead of just temperature. Our results nuance the idea that people living in informal neighbourhoods are consistently more exposed to heat than people living in more prosperous neighbourhoods. During night-time, exposure does tend to be enhanced in densely-built informal neighbourhoods, but not if the low-income neighbourhoods are more open, or if they are embedded in green/blue areas. تم الاعتراف على نطاق واسع بالوضع الاجتماعي والاقتصادي المتدني كعامل مهم في تعزيز تعرض الشخص لتغير المناخ بما في ذلك التعرض للتغيرات في درجة الحرارة. ومع ذلك، لا يُعرف سوى القليل عن التعرض للحرارة داخل المدن في البلدان النامية، وأقل من ذلك عن التعرض داخل الأحياء غير الرسمية في تلك البلدان. تقدم هذه الورقة تقييماً للتعرض للحرارة في الهواء الطلق في مدن جنوب آسيا دلهي ودكا وفيصل أباد. يتم تقييم التطور الزمني للتعرض للحرارة، وكذلك الاختلافات داخل الحضر، باستخدام قياسات الأرصاد الجوية من الأجهزة المحمولة والثابتة (أبريل- سبتمبر 2016). تتم مقارنة التعرض للحرارة بين الأحياء ذات الدخل المنخفض والأحياء الأخرى في هذه المدن. يتم التعبير عن النتائج من حيث درجة حرارة الهواء ومن حيث المؤشرات الحرارية مؤشر الحرارة (HI)، ودرجة حرارة الكرة الأرضية الرطبة (WBGT) ومؤشر المناخ الحراري العالمي (UTCI) عند مستوى المشي. يتم ملاحظة الظروف المصنفة على أنها خطرة إلى خطرة للغاية، ومن المحتمل أن تعيق الإنتاجية، كل يوم تقريبًا من فترة القياس خلال النهار، حتى عندما تنخفض درجة حرارة الهواء بعد بداية الرياح الموسمية. يوصى بإلقاء تحذيرات الحرارة من حيث المؤشرات الحرارية بدلاً من درجة الحرارة فقط. توضح نتائجنا فكرة أن الأشخاص الذين يعيشون في أحياء غير رسمية يتعرضون باستمرار للحرارة أكثر من الأشخاص الذين يعيشون في أحياء أكثر ازدهارًا. خلال الليل، يميل التعرض إلى التعزيز في الأحياء العشوائية المكتظة، ولكن ليس إذا كانت الأحياء ذات الدخل المنخفض أكثر انفتاحًا، أو إذا كانت مدمجة في مناطق خضراء/زرقاء.

Although several studies show the vulnerability of human health to climate change, a clear comprehensive quantification of the increased health risks attributable to climate change is lacking. Even more complicated are assessments of adaptation measures for this sector. We discuss the impact of climate change on diarrhoea as a representative of a waterborne infectious disease affecting human health in the Ganges basin of northern India. A conceptual framework is presented for climate exposure response relationships based on studies from different countries, as empirical studies and appropriate epidemiological data sets for India are lacking. Four climate variables are included: temperature, increased/extreme precipitation, decreased precipitation/droughts and relative humidity. Applying the conceptual framework to the latest regional climate projections for northern India shows increases between present and future (2040s), varying spatially from no change to an increase of 21% in diarrhoea incidences, with 13.1% increase on average for the Ganges basin. We discuss three types of measures against diarrhoeal disease: reactive actions, preventive actions and national policy options. Preventive actions have the potential to counterbalance this expected increase. However, given the limited progress in reducing incidences over the past decade consorted actions and effective implementation and integration of existing policies are needed.

This study explores the potential of using Regional Internet Search Frequencies (RISF) for air conditioning devices as an indicator for thermal discomfort (i.e. dissatisfaction with the thermal environment) with the aim to quantify the adaptation potential of individuals living across different climate zones and at the high end of the temperature range, in India, where access to health data is limited. We related RISF for the years 2011–2015 to daily daytime outdoor temperature in 17 states and determined at which temperature RISF for air conditioning starts to peak, i.e. crosses a 'heat threshold', in each state. Using the spatial variation in heat thresholds, we explored whether people continuously exposed to higher temperatures show a lower response to heat extremes through adaptation (e.g. physiological, behavioural or psychological). State-level heat thresholds ranged from 25.9 °C in Madhya Pradesh to 31.0 °C in Orissa. Local adaptation was found to occur at state level: the higher the average temperature in a state, the higher the heat threshold; and the higher the intra-annual temperature range (warmest minus coldest month) the lower the heat threshold. These results indicate there is potential within India to adapt to warmer temperatures, but that a large intra-annual temperature variability attenuates this potential to adapt to extreme heat. This winter 'reset' mechanism should be taken into account when assessing the impact of global warming, with changes in minimum temperatures being an important factor in addition to the change in maximum temperatures itself. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of local heat thresholds and people's adaptive capacity, which can support the design of local thermal comfort standards and early heat warning systems.

Le faible statut socio-économique a été largement reconnu comme un facteur important pour accroître la vulnérabilité d'une personne au changement climatique, y compris la vulnérabilité aux changements de température. Pourtant, on sait peu de choses sur l'exposition à la chaleur dans les villes des pays en développement, et encore moins sur l'exposition dans les quartiers informels de ces pays. Cet article présente une évaluation de l'exposition à la chaleur extérieure dans les villes sud-asiatiques de Delhi, Dhaka et Faisalabad. L'évolution temporelle de l'exposition à la chaleur est évaluée, ainsi que les différences intra-urbaines, à l'aide de mesures météorologiques provenant d'appareils mobiles et fixes (avril-septembre 2016). L'exposition à la chaleur est comparée entre les quartiers à faible revenu et les autres quartiers de ces villes. Les résultats sont exprimés en termes de température de l'air et en termes d'indices thermiques Heat Index (HI), Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) et Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) au niveau de la marche. Des conditions classées comme dangereuses à très dangereuses, et susceptibles d'entraver la productivité, sont observées presque tous les jours de la période de mesure pendant la journée, même lorsque la température de l'air baisse après le début de la mousson. Il est recommandé de lancer des avertissements de chaleur en termes d'indices thermiques au lieu de simplement de température. Nos résultats nuancent l'idée que les personnes vivant dans des quartiers informels sont systématiquement plus exposées à la chaleur que les personnes vivant dans des quartiers plus prospères. Pendant la nuit, l'exposition a tendance à être améliorée dans les quartiers informels densément construits, mais pas si les quartiers à faible revenu sont plus ouverts ou s'ils sont intégrés dans des zones vertes/bleues. El bajo nivel socioeconómico ha sido ampliamente reconocido como un factor importante para aumentar la vulnerabilidad de una persona al cambio climático, incluida la vulnerabilidad a los cambios de temperatura. Sin embargo, se sabe poco sobre la exposición al calor dentro de las ciudades en los países en desarrollo, y aún menos sobre la exposición dentro de los barrios informales en esos países. Este documento presenta una evaluación de la exposición al calor exterior en las ciudades del sur de Asia Delhi, Dhaka y Faisalabad. Se evalúa la evolución temporal de la exposición al calor, así como las diferencias intraurbanas, utilizando mediciones meteorológicas desde dispositivos móviles y estacionarios (abril-septiembre 2016). La exposición al calor se compara entre los barrios de bajos ingresos y otros barrios de estas ciudades. Los resultados se expresan en términos de temperatura del aire y en términos de los índices térmicos Heat Index (HI), Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) y Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) a nivel de marcha. Las condiciones clasificadas como peligrosas a muy peligrosas, y que pueden impedir la productividad, se observan casi todos los días del periodo de medición durante el día, incluso cuando la temperatura del aire desciende después del inicio del monzón. Se recomienda emitir advertencias de calor en términos de índices térmicos en lugar de solo temperatura. Nuestros resultados matizan la idea de que las personas que viven en barrios informales están constantemente más expuestas al calor que las personas que viven en barrios más prósperos. Durante la noche, la exposición tiende a mejorar en los barrios informales densamente construidos, pero no si los barrios de bajos ingresos son más abiertos o si están incrustados en áreas verdes/azules. Low socio-economic status has been widely recognized as a significant factor in enhancing a person's vulnerability to climate change including vulnerability to changes in temperature. Yet, little is known about exposure to heat within cities in developing countries, and even less about exposure within informal neighbourhoods in those countries. This paper presents an assessment of exposure to outdoor heat in the South Asian cities Delhi, Dhaka, and Faisalabad. The temporal evolution of exposure to heat is evaluated, as well as intra-urban differences, using meteorological measurements from mobile and stationary devices (April–September 2016). Exposure to heat is compared between low-income and other neighbourhoods in these cities. Results are expressed in terms of air temperature and in terms of the thermal indices Heat Index (HI), Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) and Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) at walking level. Conditions classified as dangerous to very dangerous, and likely to impede productivity, are observed almost every day of the measurement period during daytime, even when air temperature drops after the onset of the monsoon. It is recommended to cast heat warnings in terms of thermal indices instead of just temperature. Our results nuance the idea that people living in informal neighbourhoods are consistently more exposed to heat than people living in more prosperous neighbourhoods. During night-time, exposure does tend to be enhanced in densely-built informal neighbourhoods, but not if the low-income neighbourhoods are more open, or if they are embedded in green/blue areas. تم الاعتراف على نطاق واسع بالوضع الاجتماعي والاقتصادي المتدني كعامل مهم في تعزيز تعرض الشخص لتغير المناخ بما في ذلك التعرض للتغيرات في درجة الحرارة. ومع ذلك، لا يُعرف سوى القليل عن التعرض للحرارة داخل المدن في البلدان النامية، وأقل من ذلك عن التعرض داخل الأحياء غير الرسمية في تلك البلدان. تقدم هذه الورقة تقييماً للتعرض للحرارة في الهواء الطلق في مدن جنوب آسيا دلهي ودكا وفيصل أباد. يتم تقييم التطور الزمني للتعرض للحرارة، وكذلك الاختلافات داخل الحضر، باستخدام قياسات الأرصاد الجوية من الأجهزة المحمولة والثابتة (أبريل- سبتمبر 2016). تتم مقارنة التعرض للحرارة بين الأحياء ذات الدخل المنخفض والأحياء الأخرى في هذه المدن. يتم التعبير عن النتائج من حيث درجة حرارة الهواء ومن حيث المؤشرات الحرارية مؤشر الحرارة (HI)، ودرجة حرارة الكرة الأرضية الرطبة (WBGT) ومؤشر المناخ الحراري العالمي (UTCI) عند مستوى المشي. يتم ملاحظة الظروف المصنفة على أنها خطرة إلى خطرة للغاية، ومن المحتمل أن تعيق الإنتاجية، كل يوم تقريبًا من فترة القياس خلال النهار، حتى عندما تنخفض درجة حرارة الهواء بعد بداية الرياح الموسمية. يوصى بإلقاء تحذيرات الحرارة من حيث المؤشرات الحرارية بدلاً من درجة الحرارة فقط. توضح نتائجنا فكرة أن الأشخاص الذين يعيشون في أحياء غير رسمية يتعرضون باستمرار للحرارة أكثر من الأشخاص الذين يعيشون في أحياء أكثر ازدهارًا. خلال الليل، يميل التعرض إلى التعزيز في الأحياء العشوائية المكتظة، ولكن ليس إذا كانت الأحياء ذات الدخل المنخفض أكثر انفتاحًا، أو إذا كانت مدمجة في مناطق خضراء/زرقاء.

Le faible statut socio-économique a été largement reconnu comme un facteur important pour accroître la vulnérabilité d'une personne au changement climatique, y compris la vulnérabilité aux changements de température. Pourtant, on sait peu de choses sur l'exposition à la chaleur dans les villes des pays en développement, et encore moins sur l'exposition dans les quartiers informels de ces pays. Cet article présente une évaluation de l'exposition à la chaleur extérieure dans les villes sud-asiatiques de Delhi, Dhaka et Faisalabad. L'évolution temporelle de l'exposition à la chaleur est évaluée, ainsi que les différences intra-urbaines, à l'aide de mesures météorologiques provenant d'appareils mobiles et fixes (avril-septembre 2016). L'exposition à la chaleur est comparée entre les quartiers à faible revenu et les autres quartiers de ces villes. Les résultats sont exprimés en termes de température de l'air et en termes d'indices thermiques Heat Index (HI), Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) et Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) au niveau de la marche. Des conditions classées comme dangereuses à très dangereuses, et susceptibles d'entraver la productivité, sont observées presque tous les jours de la période de mesure pendant la journée, même lorsque la température de l'air baisse après le début de la mousson. Il est recommandé de lancer des avertissements de chaleur en termes d'indices thermiques au lieu de simplement de température. Nos résultats nuancent l'idée que les personnes vivant dans des quartiers informels sont systématiquement plus exposées à la chaleur que les personnes vivant dans des quartiers plus prospères. Pendant la nuit, l'exposition a tendance à être améliorée dans les quartiers informels densément construits, mais pas si les quartiers à faible revenu sont plus ouverts ou s'ils sont intégrés dans des zones vertes/bleues. El bajo nivel socioeconómico ha sido ampliamente reconocido como un factor importante para aumentar la vulnerabilidad de una persona al cambio climático, incluida la vulnerabilidad a los cambios de temperatura. Sin embargo, se sabe poco sobre la exposición al calor dentro de las ciudades en los países en desarrollo, y aún menos sobre la exposición dentro de los barrios informales en esos países. Este documento presenta una evaluación de la exposición al calor exterior en las ciudades del sur de Asia Delhi, Dhaka y Faisalabad. Se evalúa la evolución temporal de la exposición al calor, así como las diferencias intraurbanas, utilizando mediciones meteorológicas desde dispositivos móviles y estacionarios (abril-septiembre 2016). La exposición al calor se compara entre los barrios de bajos ingresos y otros barrios de estas ciudades. Los resultados se expresan en términos de temperatura del aire y en términos de los índices térmicos Heat Index (HI), Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) y Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) a nivel de marcha. Las condiciones clasificadas como peligrosas a muy peligrosas, y que pueden impedir la productividad, se observan casi todos los días del periodo de medición durante el día, incluso cuando la temperatura del aire desciende después del inicio del monzón. Se recomienda emitir advertencias de calor en términos de índices térmicos en lugar de solo temperatura. Nuestros resultados matizan la idea de que las personas que viven en barrios informales están constantemente más expuestas al calor que las personas que viven en barrios más prósperos. Durante la noche, la exposición tiende a mejorar en los barrios informales densamente construidos, pero no si los barrios de bajos ingresos son más abiertos o si están incrustados en áreas verdes/azules.

Although several studies show the vulnerability of human health to climate change, a clear comprehensive quantification of the increased health risks attributable to climate change is lacking. Even more complicated are assessments of adaptation measures for this sector. We discuss the impact of climate change on diarrhoea as a representative of a waterborne infectious disease affecting human health in the Ganges basin of northern India. A conceptual framework is presented for climate exposure response relationships based on studies from different countries, as empirical studies and appropriate epidemiological data sets for India are lacking. Four climate variables are included: temperature, increased/extreme precipitation, decreased precipitation/droughts and relative humidity. Applying the conceptual framework to the latest regional climate projections for northern India shows increases between present and future (2040s), varying spatially from no change to an increase of 21% in diarrhoea incidences, with 13.1% increase on average for the Ganges basin. We discuss three types of measures against diarrhoeal disease: reactive actions, preventive actions and national policy options. Preventive actions have the potential to counterbalance this expected increase. However, given the limited progress in reducing incidences over the past decade consorted actions and effective implementation and integration of existing policies are needed.

This study explores the potential of using Regional Internet Search Frequencies (RISF) for air conditioning devices as an indicator for thermal discomfort (i.e. dissatisfaction with the thermal environment) with the aim to quantify the adaptation potential of individuals living across different climate zones and at the high end of the temperature range, in India, where access to health data is limited. We related RISF for the years 2011–2015 to daily daytime outdoor temperature in 17 states and determined at which temperature RISF for air conditioning starts to peak, i.e. crosses a 'heat threshold', in each state. Using the spatial variation in heat thresholds, we explored whether people continuously exposed to higher temperatures show a lower response to heat extremes through adaptation (e.g. physiological, behavioural or psychological). State-level heat thresholds ranged from 25.9 °C in Madhya Pradesh to 31.0 °C in Orissa. Local adaptation was found to occur at state level: the higher the average temperature in a state, the higher the heat threshold; and the higher the intra-annual temperature range (warmest minus coldest month) the lower the heat threshold. These results indicate there is potential within India to adapt to warmer temperatures, but that a large intra-annual temperature variability attenuates this potential to adapt to extreme heat. This winter 'reset' mechanism should be taken into account when assessing the impact of global warming, with changes in minimum temperatures being an important factor in addition to the change in maximum temperatures itself. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of local heat thresholds and people's adaptive capacity, which can support the design of local thermal comfort standards and early heat warning systems.
