Heat-Related Mortality in India Associated with the 2010 Ahmedabad Heat Wave
This policy brief describes a study titled 'Heat-Related Mortality in India: Excess All-Cause Mortality Associated with the 2010 Ahmedabad Heat Wave,' which analyzed deaths during the May 2010 heat wave in Ahmedabad to determine if extreme heat leads to excess mortality. The brief highlights that while India has national climate change programs, it has lacked specific strategies to adapt to increasing heat, leading the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) to develop the first comprehensive early warning system and preparedness plan for extreme heat in an Indian city.
