For millions of people,especially in fast-growing urban areas of the Global South, highertemperatures are making it harder to earn a living, attend school, accesshealthcare, or move safely throughout the day. Extreme urban heatand lack of sustainable cooling is threatening productivity, deepeninginequality, and increasing the risk of displacement when communitiescan no longer cope. Cities cannot afford to treat extreme heat as a seasonal inconvenience.Without action, heat will erode livelihoods and overwhelm urbaninfrastructure and services. It will fuel unemployment, drive internaland cross-border migration, and put massive demands on energy systems.Cities must act now to manage rising temperatures before it is too late. The Handbook on Urban Heat Management in the Global South, developedby the World Bank in partnership with the United Nations Human SettlementsProgramme (UN-Habitat) and the United Nations Environment Programme(UNEP), offers a practical response. It brings together real examplesand strategies from cities that are already tackling extreme heat. It focuseson powerful solutions that are feasible, affordable, and easy to adapt—especially those that expand access to accessible, sustainable cooling. This Handbook is intended to support national and local leaders.It consolidates diverse resources, tools, and lessons learned to supportdecision-makers in managing and mitigating extreme urban heat in the nearand long term. It is not a blueprint, but a resource that can be tailoredand expanded through continued learning and collaboration. City leadersand their partners are encouraged to adapt these tools to their local contexts,and to share new practices that can inform future editions. Cities are getting hotter—but with the right tools, policies, and investments,urban heat can be managed to protect lives, safeguard economies, and builda cooler, more resilient future.

TheHandbook’s development was guided by a rigorous, multi-stage road-testing and quality review process designedto incorporate the knowledge and lived experienceof city practitioners and policymakers. Through road-testing consultations held from September 2024 to April2025, emerging content was tested with stakeholdersin Bangladesh, India, Kenya, Pakistan, the Philippines,Singapore, South Korea, Tanzania, Thailand, and Uganda.These sessions enabled the team to refine the content forpractical application by local governments and planners.Further sessions were held at the Global Heat andCooling Forum (hosted by NRDC India) and at the India2047: Building a Climate-Resilient Future confer
