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

Four scientists from the EARLY-ADAPT group are among the 44 leading researchers that make up the Lancet Countdown in Europe initiative

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.

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

For the first time, researchers have estimated the impact of lockdown-related air pollution reduction on mortality in 47 provincial capital cities.

Women and older adults are the populations most vulnerable to high temperatures

The ERC grant money will be used to fund EARLY-ADAPT, an investigation of the impact of climate change adaptation on human health

Women are more vulnerable to heat, while cold-related deaths are more common among men
