| Sumario: | (English) This study addresses the relationship between climate change and human health in the framework of urban resilience in a Latin American context. It sought to strengthen the climate and health components through conceptual harmonization and integration, as well as the identification of indicators within urban resilience measurement models. Thus, the first proposal of a model for measuring the urban resilience index adapted to Latin American cities is presented, specifically addressing the relationship between climate change and health. This model was validated and operationalized through a case study in two vulnerable communities in urban-rural transition areas in Santiago de Cali, Colombia. The approach included estimating five indicators of health, natural disasters, climate variability, socio-economic, governance, and satisfaction, where resilience negatively correlates with vulnerability. Given the limited monitoring and systematization of information in Latin American cities, much of the data was collected through structured interviews. The results revealed patterns characteristic of highly vulnerable Latino communities, such as a high degree of self-management to solve problems and improve quality of life. These findings provide elements to infer and prioritize communities with a strong sense of ownership, enabling the effective implementation of climate change adaptation and mitigation measures, given the high likelihood of ownership and continuity. |
