Preparedness for heat: Catalysts articulate factors that contribute to a strong articulation of heat, respectively resources and conditions that facilitate an appropriate preparation for (or interest in preparation for) heat. Corrosives describe conditions that either run against the articulation of heat as a problem, or hinder taking action against heat.

One key aspect that runs accross all these is the extent of the temporal gaze allowing for long- to medium-range planning, where heat is problematized in such terms. A fourth column was integrated, indicating the temporal gaze along four categories: immediate/present (daily to one year perspective) – short term (one year to 8 year perspective) – middle term (8 - 20 years) – long term (20+ years) - maintaining / securing income - positioned as "provider for the city" - key economy and electorate in the state provides political weight || Farmers || - changing farming conditions threaten capacities to maintain life in heat - limited funds and size result in lack of funds - often ignored as politically important stakeholder - infrastructural and structural margins - political positionality runs against an interest in precautionary/preparatory stance - maintainence of status quo tied to economic constraints and contradictions - lifestock risk go unnoticed (eg. changes in lactating in milk cows) - competition within and beyond state borders put constraints on willingness for regulation (what are alternative means?) - conflict with regulators/mostly GOP support - ideological frameworks? - limited capacities to take action (resources, social, cultural, political capital, ...) || Imm. - Short || - need for protection against heat - need safety, health care access - knowledge of public spaces in terms of temperature (especially for sleep/shelter against weather) - situated knowledges and experience with dealing with weather || Homeless (as one example) || - limited capacities to act - temporary constraints (living on a day-to-day basis) - access? - limited access to participatory means - limited social and political rights - limited access to shelters in heat - limited protective infrastructures (housing, health care) - limited representation, spokespersons, ... ... || Imm. || - changes in building - powerful political capital - financial capital - economic interest - ties to different key stakeholders || Housing projects (private/state/...) || - social stratification - building codes - access to appropriate housing for whom? Market logics - technological solutions with limited scope - changing resources for adaptation post election - existing structural conditions (industrial heritage) - infrastructural conditions - basis for new housing projects (for different interest groups) - conflicting ideological frameworks, and limited alternative modes for housing projects || Imm - Middle || - strong investment - has the "expertise" - regulatory power - climate change as central object of concern - powerful political capital - interdisciplinary expertise || EPA || - changing/deterioriating political power - resources - overburdend with "issues" - compartmentalization - political bargains - limited perspectives || Imm. - Long || - strong funds - interfaces with other SUNY departments - interfaces with polity || ATMOS || - limited scope of perspective - funding - specific disciplinary gaze - neutrality- stance || Short - Long || - Most open for civic action (generally speaking) - Infrastructural challenges incentive addressing - position within political scales and spectrum - political flexiblity - stronger political accountability? || City Councils/Governments || - limited funds - restricted possibilities through regulatory constraints, political realities and social and budgetary constraints - political contradictions - limited practical flexibility - political appointments (term length around 2y) || Imm. - Short || - resources - area coverage in rural centers || ? ||
