A handbook on climate change: de-constructing climate change and heat stress for the urban poor

This resource aims to help poor people living in urban areas to understand climate change in simple and relatable ways. It explains what climate change is and how it impacts people differently depending on their socio-economic circumstances. It is meant for scientists, decision-makers and grassroot organisations.

The toolkit illustrates the impact of the climate change through the story of the everyday life of a family (including members of different age groups and gender) living in an urban poor settlement in a Central Indian city.
