This Article supports SDGs 3, 10, and 13 by evaluating the effect of ambient temperature on mobility within large cities and urban areas, particularly focusing on the subway system in New York city.
This One Earth Perspective makes policy recommendations for how global finance institutions can support low-carbon development (SDG 13) in low-income nations (SDG 10) and foster clean economic growth (SDG 8).
Wealthy countries that have benefited from fossil-fueled development have agreed to help low-income countries develop more sustainably (SDG 13). Investment in e.g., clean energy is greatly needed (SDG 7), but this One Earth Research Article shows that low-income countries are seen as 'high risk' and not receiving sufficient investment in clean energy, perpetuating inequality (SDG 10).
