Climate Change Impact & Justice - Climate change disproportionately affects vulnerable communities with minimal carbon footprint [5][6] - In the last two decades, India experienced over 1,000 climate disasters resulting in over 100,000 deaths, primarily impacting daily wage workers [7][8] - Climate solutions should prioritize justice by addressing the needs of the most affected communities [8] Call to Action & Systemic Change - Individual actions are insufficient; systemic changes are crucial for effective climate solutions [14] - Professionals in various fields (engineering, policy, research, business) should integrate climate justice into their work [12][13][14] - Climate action is a shared responsibility, requiring collective effort to protect each other [10][18]

Climate Change Impact - UK farmers are experiencing extremely hot summers, potentially the hottest on record, mirroring a global trend of rising temperatures and prolonged heat waves [1] - Older subway systems, particularly those built a century ago, struggle to adapt to increasing heat due to outdated infrastructure [2][4][5] Infrastructure Challenges - Adding air conditioning to old, deep, and narrow subway tunnels, like those in London and Paris, is proving difficult [5] - Subway systems themselves contribute to tunnel heat, notably from braking trains [6] Adaptation Strategies - Cities are adopting different approaches to manage heat, with some, like Tokyo and Beijing, using air-conditioned subway carriages and platforms [3] - Beijing features colder subway carriages for business professionals in formal attire [4]
