气候变化被认为是未来几十年对我们社会的最大威胁，在这个城市化的世纪可能影响到大量不同的城市居民群体。由于城市地区居住着各种各样的人，他们的脆弱性各不相同，气候变化加剧可能会将讨论的重点从一般的城市角度转移到城市中的谁将受到气候变化的影响以及如何受到影响。这就把城市公平问题推到了最前沿。在这里，我们评估气候变化事件如何可能放大城市不平等。我们发现，热浪，洪水，山体滑坡，甚至缓解和适应措施，对特定人群的影响比其他人群更大。作为潜在的敏感性因素，我们始终确定社会经济地位和性别。我们综合了关于公平类型的调查结果-即基于结果、面向过程和与背景相关的公平-并提出了避免因气候变化影响、适应和减缓而增加公平和正义问题的解决方案。
Climate change is acknowledged as the largest threat to our societies in the coming decades, potentially affecting large and diverse groups of urban residents in this century of urbanization. As urban areas house highly diverse people with differing vulnerabilities, intensifying climate change is likely to shift the focus of discussions from a general urban perspective to who in cities will be affected by climate change, and how. This brings the urban equity question to the forefront. Here we assess how climate change events may amplify urban inequity. We find that heatwaves, but also flooding, landslides, and even mitigation and adaptation measures, affect specific population groups more than others. As underlying sensitivity factors we consistently identify socioeconomic status and gender. We synthesize the findings with regard to equity types - meaning outcome-based, process-oriented and context-related equity - and suggest solutions for avoiding increased equity and justice concerns as a result of climate change impacts, adaptation and mitigation.
