To respond to urban injustices, attention needs to be paid to both the local level and to broader system-wide governance issues . At the local level, it is important to understand who is most vulnerable to climate risk, which is likely to be related to class, race, gender, ability and age . Factors such as age and levels of ability, as well as those pursuing outdoor livelihoods, have a direct link to higher vulnerability to heat stress . In least-developed countries, less than 60% of the urban population have access to piped water which impacts on health and well-being, and emphasises the importance of alternative resources for these households .
