DESCRIPTION: Engage urban stakeholders in a process to develop a set of vulnerability indicators that are focused on heat waves in urban areas. Elucidate for urban governments the degree to which heat waves are changing, the real-life impacts of heat waves on urban populations, and the effectiveness of adaptation actions to reduce urban temperatures. Integrate physical, ecological, and socioeconomic information into a set of five related indicators that address vulnerability.
