He, C., Zhang, Y., Schneider, A. et al. The inequality labor loss risk from future urban warming and adaptation strategies. Nat Commun

Objective:

• Downscale climate change scenarios to the local scale to quantify the potential influences of the interactions among climate change and potential urban adaptation strategies on future global warming

Case:

• Grid and cities in China

Methodology:

• Weather research and forecasting model (WRF)
• Workability, work loss

Data Source

• SSP
• Heat

Findings:

• Without adaptation, most of cities across mainland China will undergo significant heat increases by the 2050s

• Adaptation strategies can cool the urban environment with significant regional variability

• Increase in economic cost
