Heat — urban heat islands, Ahmedabad's heat action plan, Paris after 2003, trees, parks and cooling without air conditioning.

The vanishing cold — why poles and mountains warm faster, Shishmaref, Ladakh's ice stupas, glaciers, permafrost and winter cities.

Ecosystems under pressure — mountains, forests, deserts and oceans — from Kilimanjaro and the Black Forest to coral reefs and Arctic sea ice.
- IX
The human side — climate anxiety, weather-sensitive bodies, headache and migraine, vulnerable groups and migration.
- X
Cities and communities — cool and green roofs, local heroes, Phoenix's heat relief network, heat-health action plans and C40.
- XI
The bigger picture — policy explained simply, everyone's part, a reader's toolkit, climate education, mitigation and adaptation.
