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
Study analyses the impact of the economic crisis on the number of deaths recorded in 15 countries
