Of all-natural disasters, extreme high temperatures events are the main cause of weather-related mortality. The compact urban settings cities, dependency on infrastructural systems as well larger concentration people and economic activities make areas particularly vulnerable to health risks due heat. To investigate vulnerabilities heat, study illustrates how vulnerability factors together with hazard parameters determine nexus between heat outcome, here called heat-health nexus....
Today the most substantial threats facing cities relate to impacts of climate change. Extreme temperature such as heat waves and occurrence Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomena, present main challenges for urban planning design. Climate deterioration exacerbates already existing weaknesses in social systems, which have been created by changes population increases sprawl. Despite numerous attempts researchers assess risks associated with heat-health nexus areas, no common metrics yet defined...
Abstract The increase of frequency and severity extreme weather events due to climate change gives evidence severe challenges faced by infrastructure systems. Among them, the aviation sector is particularly at risk from potential consequences change. Airports are classified as critical infrastructures because they provide fundamental functions sustain societies economic activities. More specifically, Mediterranean airports face risks associated with sea level rise, higher occurrence...
Understanding context specific heat-health risks in urban areas is important, especially given anticipated severe increases summer temperatures due to climate change effects. We investigate social inequalities the association between daily and mortality city of Turin for period 1982-2018 among different demographic groups such as sex, age, educational level, marital status household occupants.Mortality data are represented by individual all-cause counts months 1982 2018. Socioeconomic level...
Addressing the complex challenges posed by climate change requires innovative approaches that prioritise communities as active participants in shaping solutions, especially adaptation context. The Adaptation AGORA project, funded Horizon Europe, exemplifies this integrating citizen needs and perspectives into planning across diverse European regions through participatory methodologies. Similarly, CLIMAS project focuses on how citizens can directly contribute to formulating actionable policy...
Historically, visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Italy was constrained to Mediterranean areas. However, the last 20 years, sand fly vectors and human cases of VL have been detected northern Italy, traditionally classified as a cold area unsuitable for survival. We aim study spatio-temporal pattern climatic determinants incidence Italy. National Hospital Discharge Register records were used identify incident between 2009 2016. Incident rates computed each year (N = 8) province 110). Data on mean...
Urban areas and their populations across Europe are increasingly dealing with climate change effects, including increased risks of flooding, rising sea levels, heatwaves more severe storms, which disproportionately affect vulnerable populations. Urbanization further amplifies these effects by significantly altering landscapes influencing local atmospheric conditions. Addressing complex dynamics requires a comprehensive understanding the intricate interplay between urbanization change....
Misinformation and disinformation present significant barriers to addressing climate change effectively communicating risks. While misinformation refers false or inaccurate information shared without intent mislead, involves deliberately narratives designed deceive manipulate. Both phenomena distort public perception, erode trust in scientific institutional sources, delay critical action. When people encounter conflicting information, they may struggle discern credible guidance, making them...
Climate change education and citizen engagement are essential for advancing towards a climate-resilient society promoting institutional, regulatory policy transformation. Informal learning tools, as digital environments, co-development approaches play pivotal role in addressing this challenge. In perspective, the AGORA project contributes to Mission on Adaptation Change by best practices, innovative methods, climate instruments enhance community regional action. A key initiative within is...
Nowadays, within the built environment, railway infrastructures play a key role to sustain national policies oriented toward promoting sustainable mobility. For this reason, institutions and infrastructure managers need increase their awareness in relation current future climate risks on representative systems. Among change impacts, preventing effects of sea-level rise (SLR) coastal is priority. The first step adaptation policy cycle development an ad hoc risk assessment. In view, research...
Extreme weather phenomena are increasing due to climate change and having a severe impact on critical infrastructure, including airports. In this context, conducting risk assessments is an essential step implement appropriate adaptation strategies. the present study, climate-risk assessment framework applied evaluate of extreme precipitation events for specific Italian airports: Malpensa, Bergamo, Linate, Fiumicino, Ciampino, Napoli, Catania, Palermo, Cagliari. This analysis based definition...
Due to increased extreme weather events as a consequence of climate change, risk analysis has become an essential issue for all critical infrastructures, including airports. The aim this paper is apply assessment framework evaluate the impacts temperatures on several Italian airports: Malpensa, Linate, Bergamo, Ciampino, Fiumicino, Napoli, Catania, Palermo, and Cagliari. According definition recommended in Fifth Assessment Report IPCC (2014), specific hazard, exposure vulnerability...

More than half of the European population live in small and medium size municipalities, where climate adaptation planning is an under-researched topic within change field. Many constraints might hinder implementation pilot projects due to lack economic, knowledge, technical available resources. Local institutions find difficulties building a coherent local design processes with international national frameworks. In this context, article proposes methodology based on frameworks support...
The objective of this paper is to present a methodology for the integration Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) microclimate simulation and Geographic Information System (GIS). first workflow involves attribution spatial coordinates point data extracted from CFD, implementation an SQLite database, connection database visualise use information on environmental comfort variables. second georeferencing CFD raster output, attributing ID data, creating grid in GIS environment, merging these with...
Extreme temperatures, such as heat waves, and the occurrence of Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomena, pose most significant challenges to urban planning design. Climate change exacerbates already existing weaknesses in social systems, caused by changes population growth sprawl.Despite numerous attempts researchers assess risks associated with heat-health nexus areas, no universal metrics have been developed. The goal this study is provide an empirical example a flexible replicable methodology...
