A new study co-authored by a researcher from the EARLY-ADAPT group estimates that one third of deaths attributable to heat islands could be avoided if trees covered 30% of urban space.

The MSCA grant money will be used to study the recent evolution in morbidity and mortality risk and burden associated with ambient temperatures and its main demographic and socioeconomic drivers in Europe
The EARLY-ADAPT researcher will develop an operational early warning system for the impact of environmental temperatures on human health
A study of the correlation between temperature and mortality in the Indian city of Pune has found that cold, rather than heat, is by far the bigger killer.

In this study we have studied the effects of rising temperatures on mortality in Europe according to three climate change scenarios. Depending on the scenario, total attributable mortality will increase notably due to the great increase of heat attributable mortality that will outweigh the reduction in cold attributable mortality. This increase in mortality attributable to temperatures will be more notorious in regions more exposed and vulnerable to heat.
