Increased Heat Resilience
What does this outcome look like in Richmond? Consistent and reduced temperatures across all neighborhoods, adequate employer heat safety information and response, more households with central air conditioning, sufficient cooling centers for all Richmonders, reduced heat-related illnesses, and the elimination of heat islands.
How will this outcome be measured?
The Office of Sustainability has developed indicators to measure the progress of the increased heat resilience outcome.
Indicator: The temperature difference between the hottest and coolest areas of the city.
Equity Indicator: The percent of the population facing "high heat vulnerability" to climate change per the Climate Equity Index by race and ethnicity-race and ethnicity don't predict vulnerability.
