Abstract
The Women's action towards managing health impacts of climate change affecting urban poor in south Asia Project aims to build the resilience capacity of women from slum communities in seven cities of South Asia, to take the lead in action against four climate risks. These four climate stressors – heat waves, flooding and inundation, water scarcity, and increased incidence of water and vector borne diseases – often impact the poor most but are slower‐onset and less apparent than climate disasters and extreme events.
