The frequency and intensity of hot weather events are expected to increase globally,
threatening human health, especially among the elderly, poor, and chronically ill. Current …

Background Heatwaves are known to increase mortality. However, there is a need for more
quantitative information on factors affecting sensitivity to the adverse health effects …

Over recent decades, studies have examined various morbidity and mortality outcomes
associated with heat exposure. This review explores the collective knowledge of the …

Increasing the amount of blue-green spaces has been recognized as an effective strategy to
mitigate the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Specific quantitative and actionable landscape …

Abstract Since the Global Warming Potential (GWP) was first presented in the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) First Assessment Report, the metric has …

Urban heat waves (UHWs) are strongly associated with socioeconomic impacts. Here, we
use an urban climate emulator combined with large ensemble global climate simulations to …

Background: Temperature-related mortality risks have mostly been studied in urban areas,
with limited evidence for urban–rural differences in the temperature impacts on health …

Temperatures that deviate from the long-term local norm affect human health, and are
projected to become more frequent as the global climate changes. There are limited data on …

Many physically demanding occupations in both developed and developing economies
involve exposure to extreme thermal environments that can affect work capacity and …

A warming climate is anticipated to increase the future heat-related total mortality in urban
areas. However, little evidence has been reported for cause-specific mortality or nonurban …
