Urban overheating, driven by global climate change and urban development, is a major
contemporary challenge that substantially impacts urban livability and sustainability …

Cities are generally warmer than their adjacent rural land, a phenomenon known as the
urban heat island (UHI). Often accompanying the UHI effect is another phenomenon called …

Gender studies have highlighted how policies and actions that are not drafted and planned
with a gender perspective tend to produce a gender bias. Climate policies are not an …

As the climate warms, increasing heat-related health risks are expected, and can be
exacerbated by the urban heat island (UHI) effect. UHIs can also offer protection against …

Surface urban heat island (SUHI) is a key climate risk associated with urbanization. Previous
case studies have suggested that precipitation (water), radiation (energy), and vegetation …

The ascent of water from the soil to the leaves of vascular plants, described by the study of
plant hydraulics, regulates ecosystem responses to environmental forcing and recovery from …

This research uses advanced statistical methods to examine climate change mitigation
policies' economic and environmental impacts. The primary objective is to assess the …

Urban heat island (UHI) is among the most pronounced human impacts on Earth. To
formulate locally adapted mitigation strategies, a comprehensive understanding of the …

The background climatic conditions and urban morphology greatly influence urban heat
island effects (UHIs), but one-size-fits-all solutions are frequently employed to mitigate UHIs …

The urban heat island (UHI) effect in arid cities can be small or even negative, the latter
known as the urban cool island (UCI) effect. Differences in defining urban and rural areas …
