Abstract The Advancing Climate Justice in Adaptation Strategies for New York City (Equity) chapter of NPCC4 builds on the findings and recommendations from NPCC3 to identify additional metrics adaptation efforts that can advance climate justice. First, assesses incorporate equity into since describes how communities profiled have implemented evolved their approaches addressing intersecting climate, environmental, social stressors they continue face. Second, it adds historical context inequity by linking bioregion's history colonization, land dispossession, slavery building emerging evidence demonstrating contemporary use patterns decisions shape present future risks vulnerability, including displacement. Third, recommends a NYC‐focused metric areas city are most vulnerable intersection hazards, Finally, highlights more equitable just drawn local, national, international examples. As such, offers best practices prioritize community‐driven resilience integrated, equitable, racially just.

Climate change is making the existing health problems worse and also introducing new problem therefore calls for a wider evaluation of climate sensitive global diseases. The review sought to assess collate quantitative qualitative evidence on effects health, more specifically, infectious respiratory diseases, impacts extreme weather events as well implications mental with view establishing appropriate sustainable resilience public measures policies. A scoping observational studies carried out between years 2000 2024, synthesized information climate-sensitive outcomes: severe events, illnesses. This analysis was based data from PubMed, Scopus, Web Science Cochrane Library, where appropriate, utilizing meta-extraction Meta-analysis techniques. total 3077 were screened, 96 articles included analysis, highlighting significant risks posed by change. Key areas concern identified include cardiovascular conditions, food- water-borne illnesses, effects. Rising temperatures variable rainfall patterns increase incidence diseases like malaria (up 50%) dengue (8–10% per 1 °C rise). Extreme such heatwaves floods, contribute 30% rise in 25% conditions.

As we navigate the fast-paced era of urban expansion, integration machine learning (ML) and remote sensing (RS) has become a cornerstone in environmental management. This research, focusing on Silchar City, non-attainment city under National Clean Air Program (NCAP), leverages these advanced technologies to understand microclimate its implications health, resilience, sustainability built environment. The rise land surface temperature (LST) changes use cover (LULC) have been identified as key contributors thermal dynamics, particularly development heat islands (UHIs). Urban Thermal Field Variance Index (UTFVI) can assess influence UHIs, which is considered parameter for ecological quality assessment. research examines interlinkages among LST, dynamics City due substantial air temperature, poor quality, particulate matter PM2.5. Using Landsat satellite imagery, LULC maps were derived 2000, 2010, 2020 by applying supervised classification approach. LST was calculated converting band spectral radiance into brightness temperature. We utilized Cellular Automata (CA) Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) project potential scenarios up year 2040. Over two-decade period from 2000 2020, observed 21% expansion built-up areas, primarily at expense vegetation agricultural lands. transformation contributed increased with over 10% area exceeding 25 °C compared just 1% 2000. CA model predicts areas will grow an additional 26% 2040, causing 4 °C. UTFVI analysis reveals declining comfort, worst affected zone projected expand 7 km2. increase PM2.5 aerosol optical depth past two decades further indicates deteriorating quality. study underscores ML RS management, providing valuable insights that guide policy formulation sustainable planning.
