Innovative approaches to microinfrastructure are emerging in the global south, where appliances like fans, air conditioners, and refrigerators play a critical role in reducing heat risks and supporting food security.

These technologies not only mitigate immediate health threats but also bolster livelihoods by ensuring cold storage for perishable goods and providing reliable water sources through solar pumps.

The reliance on such microinfrastructure highlights the need for adaptable solutions to combat climate change, particularly as extreme heat events become more frequent and severe.
