This chapter of the New York City Panel on Climate Change 4 (NPCC4) report considers climate health risks, vulnerabilities, and resilience strategies in New York City's unique urban context. It updates evidence since the last health assessment in 2015 as part of NPCC2 and addresses climate health risks and vulnerabilities that have emerged as especially salient to NYC since 2015. Climate health risks from heat and flooding are emphasized. In addition, other climate-sensitive exposures harmful to human health are considered, including outdoor and indoor air pollution, including aeroallergens; insect vectors of human illness; waterborne infectious and chemical contaminants; and compounding of climate health risks with other public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence-informed strategies for reducing future climate risks to health are considered.
纽约市气候变化专门委员会报告的这一章（NPCC4）考虑了纽约市独特城市环境中的气候健康风险、脆弱性和恢复力策略。它更新了自 2015 年 NPCC2 上次健康评估以来的证据，并针对自 2015 年以来对纽约市尤为突出的气候健康风险和脆弱性进行了阐述。重点介绍了来自高温和洪水的气候健康风险。此外，还考虑了其他对人类健康有害的气候敏感暴露因素，包括室外和室内空气污染，包括空气过敏原；人类疾病的昆虫媒介；水传播的传染病和化学污染物；以及气候健康风险与其他公共卫生紧急情况（如 COVID-19 大流行）的复合。还考虑了减少未来气候健康风险的循证策略。
