Abstract
This chapter focuses on how to use research to build a resilient city facing the hazards posed by climate change. It takes into account all the interrelationships between climate and pests in cities. It presents an overview of the scientific knowledge on urban health outcomes and their climate-related drivers, and discusses the challenges for implementing adaptation strategies in cities to reduce pests and climate change hazards. Several climate-sensitive vector-borne diseases (such as mosquito- and tick-borne diseases) are discussed, including the recommended strategies for their control.
