Over a billion outdoor workers live in the tropics, where nearly fifth of all hours year are hot and humid enough to exceed recommended safety thresholds for conducting heavy labor. Reviews have focused on heat impacts worker health, well-being, productivity, but synthesis how increase resilience is lacking. Here we assess current future exposure tropics review four bodies literature workers. We also synthesize knowledge about mitigation adaptation uncertainties as well actions that can be taken strengthen resilience. show under an additional 1°C warming, ∼800 million people will areas work should limited over half year.

Advances in research on current and projected heat-related risks from climate change the associated responses have rapidly developed over past decade. Modelling architectures of impacts health become increasingly sophisticated alongside a growing number experiments socioeconomic studies, possible options for adaptation are being catalogued assessed. However, despite this progress, these efforts often remain isolated streams research, substantially hampering our ability to contribute evidence-informed decision making responding risks. We argue that integration scientific towards more holistic is urgently needed tackle fragmented evidence identify crucial knowledge gaps, so can better anticipate respond context changing climate. In Personal View, we outline six building blocks, each constituting stream, but as part integrated framework—namely, risks; options; feasibility effectiveness adaptation; synergies, trade-offs, co-benefits limits residual pathways. their respective importance discuss benefits health-related policy.

Abstract Objectives Extreme heat events (EHEs) are associated with excess healthcare utilization but specific impacts on emergency department (ED) operations and throughput unknown. In 2021, the Pacific Northwest experienced an unprecedented dome that resulted in substantial regional morbidity mortality. The aim of this study was to examine its impact ED utilization, unplanned hospitalization, hospital a large academic system. Methods Retrospective electronic medical records from three Seattle‐area hospitals were used compare during EHE compared pre‐event reference period within same month. Interrupted time series analysis evaluate association between exposure visits hospitalizations. Metrics crowding for using Student's t ‐tests chi‐squared tests. Additionally, multivariable Poisson regression identify risk factors heat‐related illness admission. Results showed increase 21.7 per day (95% confidence interval [CI] = 14.7, 28.6) 9.9 hospitalizations CI 8.3, 11.5) EHE, as period. process measures also displayed significant increases, becoming most pronounced by 3 EHE; delays length stay 1.0 h 0.4, 1.6) Higher incidence rate ratios observed patients who older (incidence ratio [IRR] 1.02; 95% 1.01,1.03), female (IRR 1.47; 1.06, 2.04), or had pre‐existing diabetes 3.19; 1.47, 6.94). Conclusions 2021 including Substantial noted. These findings contribute understanding role extreme play impacting patient outcomes system function.

Heat waves pose a substantial and increasing risk to public health. health early warning systems (HHEWSs) response plans are increasingly being adopted alert people the risks posed by days of extreme heat recommend protective behaviors. However, evidence regarding effectiveness HHEWSs remains limited. We examined impact wave naming on heat-related beliefs behaviors ascertain potential as communication management tool. Specifically, we surveyed members exposed proMETEO Sevilla HHEWS messaging campaign which in summer 2022 applied name considered greatest During season evaluated, one wave, "Zoe". Our analysis post-survey adults indicated that 6% participants who recalled Zoe unaided reported greater engagement safety more positive about their local governments' response. These results provide initial for utility part HAPs.

Climate change has a significant impact on the population’s health and negatively affects functioning of healthcare systems. Health systems must be operationally prepared to handle challenges posed by environmental change. Resilience is required adapt quickly critical conditions reduce carbon emissions. In this systematic review strategies, for system preparedness resilience are examined address impacts climate change, barriers faced when implementing them. To identify studies, Scopus, PubMed Google Scholar databases were searched three times (from April October 2024, 21 April, 15 June, 9 September) years 2018 using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses) methodology. Specifically, search identified 471 articles, which specified inclusion exclusion criteria (secondary studies with criteria, being in English, etc.) met sixteen (16) studies. According findings reviewed, adaptation strategies focus structural changes, development training programs, surveillance systems, appropriate operational plans. The leader’s ability motivate employees achieve defined goals, continuous evaluation goals interventions, learning from previous disasters play an important role their implementation. Similarly, key policies mitigation include adoption sustainable practices, such as recycling cultural However, lack resources (human, material, financial) increased demand services make it difficult implement strategies. mainly theoretical nature confirmed other It suggested that further research should pursued, leading sustainability formulation policies.
