Over 4% of Summer Mortality in European Cities is Attributable to Urban Heat Islands

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
