Joan Ballester, Principal Investigator of EARLY-ADAPT, Wins European Research Council Grant to Forecast the Health Effects of Air Pollution
The FORECAST-AIR project aims to tailor health alerts of air pollution for vulnerable groups.
Record-breaking Heat in the Summer of 2022 Caused more than 61,000 Deaths in Europe
An epidemiological analysis by EARLY-ADAPT researchers published in Nature Medicine estimates that 63% more women than men died due to heat, with the highest incidence in the Mediterranean region.
Over 4% of Summer Mortality in European Cities is Attributable to Urban Heat Islands
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 first Lancet Countdown in Europe report shows how climate change impacts public health in European countries
Four scientists from the EARLY-ADAPT group are among the 44 leading researchers that make up the Lancet Countdown in Europe initiative

Getting to the bottom of deadly weather
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.
Without Strong Mitigation Measures, Climate Change Will Increase Temperature-Attributable Mortality in Europe
If global warming is not curbed, the increase in heat-related deaths will outstrip the decline in cold-related mortality, especially in the Mediterranean Basin
Improved Air Quality During First Wave of COVID-19 Prevented Around 150 Premature Deaths in Major Spanish Cities
For the first time, researchers have estimated the impact of lockdown-related air pollution reduction on mortality in 47 provincial capital cities.
