health, requiring an urgent and concerted response from every country. As the home to one …

It is well recognized that carbon dioxide and air pollutants share similar emission sources so
that synergetic policies on climate change mitigation and air pollution control can lead to …

In the context of rapid urbanization and global warming, how to use urban green space
(UGS) with high-efficiency to mitigate the urban heat islands (UHIs) effect in different climate …

The increasing intensity, duration, and frequency of heat waves due to human-caused

In this paper, future drought characteristics (frequency, duration and intensity) over China
are analysed by using four climate models from CMIP6 under the seven SSP-RCP (shared …

This study investigates public participation in heat impact reduction by analysing adaptive
behaviours, familiarity with urban heat island (UHI) and cooling strategies, the perceived …

Recent studies have reported a variety of health consequences of climate change. However,
the vulnerability of individuals and cities to climate change remains to be evaluated. We …

Urban forests can mitigate the urban heat island effect by serving as cooling islands.
However, urban forest cooling potentials and their influencing factors at the single tree and …
