Climate risk assessment
Group I: Diagnosis
Power and Health Impacts of Extreme Heat, Heatwaves, and Humid Heat Compound Events
Objectives
- Map historical and projected extreme heat and humid heat risks across Asia.
- Quantify their impacts on health, labor productivity, and power demand.
- Provide cross-regional, standardized risk assessments.
Power system modelling
Energy-Health Resilience
Group II: Foresight
Power and Health Scenarios and Futures
Objectives
- Anticipate future risks to power systems and public health under worsening heat extremes.
- Explore scenarios of cooling demand, energy resilience, and public health impacts.
- Generate foresight to inform national strategies, regional cooperation, and global climate finance.
Economic loss assessment
Adaptation strategies
Group III: Science to Solutions
Adaptation, Policy, and Implementation
Objectives
- Develop implementable adaptation portfolios for vulnerable communities and high-risk areas.
- Translate scientific evidence into policy frameworks, financing strategies, and community-based action.
Implementation Pathway
