Summary: This paper presents an agent-based model to analyze the theoretical impact of social influence strategies on the adoption of solar panels. The study focuses on a solar neighborhood in Providencia, Chile. The results show that social influence strategies can significantly increase the number of adopters, with selecting the most connected agents in the network being an effective strategy. However, if maximizing the diffusion scope is the primary goal, random agent selection is recommended.

Summary: Cities in the global south, like Santiago de Chile, are experiencing dire climate impacts, with socioeconomically marginalized urban communities being most affected. By combining social indicators, climate-sensitive health risks, weather, and air quality observations, it was found that the mortality response to extreme heat and further ozone pollution is stronger in affluent dwellers, despite existing comorbidities and lack of healthcare access in disadvantaged populations. These unexpected findings highlight the importance of conducting site-specific hazard assessments and implementing community-based risk management.
