Policy and governance play a crucial role in rethinking comfort in extreme climates by shaping long-term trajectories through the development and implementation of adaptive strategies that enhance sustainability and resilience. Through effective policy and governance, our communities can address the impending challenges posed by climate change.
Through the implementation of emerging platforms for data aggregation, key performance indicators related to quantifying the economic impacts of climate risks can be leveraged in decision-making processes across scales. Measures of thermal comfort can engage direct and indirect stakeholders to more effectively mitigate vulnerabilities, prioritize adaptive strategies, and allocate resources effectively to enhance resilience and mitigate asset losses.
Health and wellbeing are central to rethinking how the built environment should respond to extreme climates. Exposure to excessive temperatures and atypical humidity levels can lead to serious health risks, including temperature-related ailments and the exacerbation of chronic vulnerabilities. Prioritizing health-focused design strategies can safeguard communities against acute and chronic risks to health, safety, and welfare.
