Extreme heat is increasing in frequency and intensity, with disproportionate risks for clinically and socially vulnerable groups. This paper identifies the relationship between acute heat and mortality in Aotearoa New Zealand. To estimate same-day heat-mortality associations, we link...

This Technical Note builds directly on the Urban Heat Risk Assessment Technical Note, which focuses on diagnosing heat hazards, exposure, and impacts in urban areas. In many cities, the analytical understanding of extreme heat has advanced rapidly, supported by improved climate data, spatial...

Industrial decarbonisation is a central challenge in achieving global climate targets, particularly due to the sector's heavy reliance on fossil-based heat generation. As efforts to transition toward electrified and low-carbon heating technologies intensify, it becomes essential to assess their...

Albeit heat pumps are viewed as a key technology to decarbonize buildings, their upfront costs exceed investment costs for fossil boilers. These excess investment costs for heat pumps over fossil boilers are heterogeneously distributed across and within income groups, depending on building...

This paper investigates the impact of extreme temperatures on labour supply and the extent to which green space moderates these effects, using high-frequency daily temperature data for metropolitan Mexico from 2005 to 2015. We find robust non-linear effects: labour supply increases as...
