The data collection tool for this study is an online survey designed to capture the experiences, health impacts, and sustainability aspirations of children, young people, and parents (CYPP) during and after heatwave events in urban environments. Hosted on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Google Forms, the survey features closed and open-ended questions to gather quantitative and qualitative data on health symptoms, daily activities, and coping strategies. It also collects demographic information to understand the diversity of respondents. The tool is designed to be quick and user-friendly, taking about 5 minutes to complete, and is available in multiple languages to ensure inclusivity. Responses are anonymous to protect participants’ privacy.

| Description of data capture | The data capture for the study focused on gathering information on how climate-related extreme events, particularly heatwaves, impact the health, well-being, and daily activities of children, young people, and parents (CYPP) in cities. The study targeted 179 cities worldwide (the Children, Cities, and Climate Action Lab's focal cities). Events (Heatwaves and Non-Heatwaves) were automatically identified using Airtable and Open Meteo APIs based on specific temperature thresholds. Heatwaves were defined as temperatures exceeding the 90th percentile for three consecutive days. Direct advertisements targeted youth and parents within the identified cities using Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and Google ads (Gmail, YouTube, and Google Search). The ads targeted users based on age and location. The ads directed users to a Typeform link (https://www.typeform.com/) where the survey was hosted. The survey link was designed to open in the most spoken language of the city to maximize accessibility and participation. |
