Innovation through Partnerships: Four Capabilities for Local Governments
This brief explores how cities can turn friction into a force for collaboration and creativity. Drawing from real-world examples, the brief outlines four essential capabilities — navigation, convening, experimentation, and codification — that help governments build stronger, more effective partnerships for innovation. The brief was published by the Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation at Johns Hopkins University.
Heat-related health risks for people experiencing homelessness: A rapid review. Journal of Urban Health.
Extreme heat is one of the most urgent and deadly climate-related health threats today. People experiencing homelessness (PEH) are at particularly high risk due to prolonged outdoor exposure, limited access to resources, and pre-existing health conditions. As climate change intensifies, understanding and addressing these risks is more critical than ever. Our paper presents a rapid review of research from the past five years (2019–2024) on the health impacts of extreme heat on PEH in high-income countries. We identify key vulnerability factors, such as age, pre-existing health conditions, and geographic disparities, and explore a range of health outcomes—including heat-related morbidity and...
