Context Cities have elevated temperatures compared to rural areas, a phenomenon known
as the “urban heat island”. Higher temperatures increase the risk of heat-related mortality …

Managing and adapting to climate change in urban areas will become increasingly
important as urban populations grow, especially because unique features of cities amplify …

Urban heat stress poses a major risk to public health. Case studies of individual cities
suggest that heat exposure, like other environmental stressors, may be unequally distributed …

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 …

Background Heat and cold are established environmental risk factors for human health.
However, map** the related health burden is a difficult task due to the complexity of the …

Coastal regions face climate-induced threats that have likely increased over the past four
decades. In this work, we quantify the future climate impacts on hydroclimatic extremes in …

Warming trends in cities are influenced both by large-scale climate processes and by local-
scale urbanization. However, little is known about how surface warming trends of global …

This study investigated perceptions and behavioral patterns related to urban green space
(UGS) in Italian cities, during the period of national lockdown imposed due to the outbreak of …

Heat waves (HWs) are among the most damaging climate extremes to human society.
Climate models consistently project that HW frequency, severity, and duration will increase …

Surface temperature is often used to examine heat exposure in multi‐city studies and for
informing urban heat mitigation efforts due to scarcity of urban air temperature …
