Resumen
Although studies exist that demonstrate the relationship between the risks of extreme heat
and socio-economic equality, there is a knowledge gap in this regard, particularly in countries in
the global south. This work aims to analyse the existence of climate inequalities in the city of Mon-
tevideo. The Urban Heat Risk Index was applied in relation to basic needs and income indicators.
The results reveal that there is no relationship between heat exposure and the level of deficiencies.
However, when comparing income, the sectors with better economic situations could be the ones
most affected by the heat.
