5/5 Key takeaway: building climate-resilient cities also means recognizing changing drug supplies as an emerging driver of climate vulnerability and public health inequity. Read it here www.nature.com/articles/s44...

4/5 The article calls for climate adaptation plans to better integrate public health, housing and harm reduction policies, while expanding access to climate shelters and affordable, climate-controlled housing.

3/5 Using Philadelphia as a case study, the paper shows how climate change, homelessness and changes in the illicit drug supply form a "polycrisis"—interconnected challenges that amplify one another.

2/5 New fentanyl adulterants such as medetomidine can cause profound sedation and disrupt the body's ability to regulate temperature, increasing the risk of heatstroke, hypothermia and other weather-related health emergencies.

1/5 🧵 What do climate change and the evolving illicit drug supply have in common? In a new *Nature Cities* comment, @andreamcintosh.bsky.social argues that this overlooked link is increasing health risks for people experiencing homelessness.

2/ The key insight isn't just growing food on rooftops, it's growing what people actually eat. 📝The study compares different production strategies and shows urban agriculture can improve food resilience, shorten supply chains and make better use of existing buildings.🏢

1/ Can cities grow a meaningful share of their own food? 🏙️ 🌱 A study on Barcelona shows that using just 65 ha of rooftops (0.64% of the city's area), rooftop greenhouses could produce 5,878 t of tomatoes 🍅, 507 t of peppers 🫑and 78 t of lettuce every year.🥬
