Abstract Australia is a significant hotspot for heatwaves due to its geographical location and pronounced climatic variability, heatwave exposure expected further increase in the future with anthropogenic climate change. With intent support United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good health well-being) 13 (Climate action), this study we identified key challenges opportunities adapting heatwaves, focusing on most vulnerable members of our community—older adults. A naturalistic, qualitative approach was selected study. Data were collected via semistructured interviews. Key insights captured through series interviews informants from local government agencies community groups that provide care older adults New South Wales, Australia. Questions centered around current preventative measures adopted by organization regarding level knowledge residents, common effects community. The findings highlight four primary challenges: (1) increasing duration intensity heatwaves; (2) lack among symptoms effect body; (3) financial social impacts (4) inadequate urban planning practices building codes including need creation cool green spaces. This provides important protecting populations growing threat heatwaves.

The association of ambient temperature with the length hospital stays and healthcare costs has not been well-explored. We aimed to examine emergency admission (EHA) count stay (LOS) for total cause-specific circulatory diseases evaluate temperature-related attributable risk costs. This ecologic time series analysis linked daily EHA LOS from Hong Kong Hospital Authority environmental exposures fixed monitoring stations 2004 2019. generalized linear quasi-Poisson model integrated a distributed lag nonlinear was applied temperatures' relative risks on counts while adjusting time-varying confounders. Temperature-related were evaluated based estimated number (AN) charges per attendance or bed day. Among 1276,632 EHAs 7621,232 days LOS, significant associations cold temperatures both found. fraction (AF) as 7.98 % (95 CI: 5.24-10.58 %) 13.09 (6.80-18.28 diseases. defined lower quartile range explained more than half Cold weather can lead adverse health outcomes, considerable pressure system. Longer LOS-associated higher in colder may have implications developing targeted preventions service planning.

The study of the effects climate change and air pollution on human health is an interesting topic for wellbeing projects in urban areas. We present a method highlighting how adverse weather environmental conditions affect influence emergency room admissions during summer area. Daily apparent temperature, biometeorological index, was used to characterize thermal discomfort while atmospheric concentrations PM10 NOX were as indicators unfavorable conditions. analyzed above parameters access, considering all different pathologies. Over four years analyzed, we identified periods which (both pollutant concentrations) unfavorable, persistence these conditions, verified that days, average daily number visits increased. Visits ENT dermatological disorders also showed significant increases. Our analysis access useful evaluating impact climatic period; vice versa, our results could be optimize resource management rooms this specific period year.

Summary The MJA – Lancet Countdown on health and climate change in Australia was established 2017 produced its first national assessment 2018 annual updates 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 2023. It examines five broad domains: hazards, exposures impacts; adaptation, planning resilience for health; mitigation actions co‐benefits; economics finance; public political engagement. In this, the seventh report of Countdown, we track progress an extensive suite indicators across these domains, accessing presenting latest data further refining developing our analyses. We also examine selected trends New Zealand. Our analyses show exposure to heatwaves is growing Australia, increasing risk heat stress other threats such as bushfires drought. highlight continuing deficiencies Australia's response threat. A key component capacity respond bushfires, number firefighting volunteers, decline, dropping by 38 442 people (17%) just seven years. total energy supply remains dominated fossil fuels (coal, oil natural gas), although from coal decreased 2021 2023, increased, transport petrol grew substantially 2021–22 (the most recent year which are available).

Climate change significantly impacts the livelihoods of farmer households. Particularly vulnerable areas, both economically and environmentally, face significant threats from climate change. This study developed a framework to assess household-level vulnerability by integrating Exposure-Sensitivity-Resilience Analysis (ESRA) Sustainable Livelihoods (SLA) frameworks. Using Gui-Zhou Province as area, examined whether livelihood differs among various types households in environmentally areas identified main factors contributing vulnerability. Results indicate differences three household types, with pure agricultural (PAH) being most due high exposure, sensitivity, low adaptive capacity. Further analysis revealed minor sensitivity but capacity categories. In terms all categories exhibit water, housing, production. Regarding capacity, human financial capital exist off-farm (OFH) possessing highest their substantial capital. research exposure primary causes vulnerability, noting no difference Common include cooperatives, labor temperature changes, drought frequency precipitation insurance, losses Overall, proposed offers guidance for analyzing economic environmental vulnerabilities under Concurrently, tailored measures reduce households’ should be different considering local climatic, geographic, socioeconomic conditions.

Climate change presents critical challenges for ecosystems, finance, and societies globally. Rising temperatures extreme weather events drive the need adaptation mitigation strategies. AI, particularly ML LLM, has gained prominence, aiding in climate risk assessment, flood defense identification, infrastructure resilience, resource allocation optimization vulnerable areas. This article examines how AI supports large organizations grassroots efforts simultaneously to address environmental challenges. It delves into AI's transformative role science through big data analysis, exploring various tools approaches developed this purpose.
