Heat risks, such as those associated with heatwaves, are increasing in frequency, severity, and duration due to climate change. The ways in which people around the globe perceive and respond to heat risks are now of great importance to reduce a range of negative health outcomes. A growing body of literature aims to assess the factors that influence people's behaviors in relation to heat risks. This research can inform better interventions, such as improved communications approaches, that attempt to facilitate adaptive behavioral responses to such risks. This review focuses on how insights from behavioral and attitudinal studies about heat risk responses can inform communication approaches. These insights are organized into three key themes: (1) Behaviors—What types of actions can be taken by people, and what evidence is there for adaptive behavior? (2) Antecedents—Which individual and contextual factors can influence people's behaviors? (3) Communications—How can existing insights be better integrated into interventions? Aspects of communication, including the role of message characteristics, messenger, and imagery, are discussed, with examples of messages and narratives that target influential antecedents of adaptive responses to heat risks. The paper makes three important contributions. First, it organizes literature on the antecedents and behavioral responses to heat risk; second, it provides a typology of the range of heat risk behaviors; and, third, it discusses how antecedents can be integrated into communication interventions. The review concludes with a proposed agenda for research, highlighting the need for substantial testing and evaluation of heat risk communication, applying insights from the literature.

在变暖的世界中改变对热风险的行为反应：如何改进沟通方式？

由于气候变化，热风险（例如与热浪相关的风险）的频率、严重程度和持续时间都在增加。现在，全球人们感知和应对热风险的方式对于减少一系列负面健康后果非常重要。越来越多的文献旨在评估影响人们与热风险相关的行为的因素。这项研究可以为更好的干预措施提供信息，例如改进沟通方法，试图促进对此类风险的适应性行为反应。本综述侧重于关于热风险反应的行为和态度研究的见解如何为沟通方法提供信息。这些见解分为三个关键主题：(1)行为—人们可以采取哪些类型的行动，有哪些适应性行为的证据？(2)前因——哪些个体和背景因素会影响人们的行为？(3)通讯— 如何将现有见解更好地融入干预措施？讨论了交流的各个方面，包括消息特征、信使和图像的作用，并提供了针对热风险适应性响应的有影响力前因的消息和叙述示例。这篇论文做出了三个重要贡献。首先，它整理了关于热风险的前因和行为反应的文献；其次，它提供了热风险行为范围的类型学；第三，它讨论了如何将前因整合到交流干预中。审查以拟议的研究议程结束，强调需要对热风险交流进行大量测试和评估，并应用文献中的见解。
