the environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity, but it also exacerbates …

In the past two decades, record-breaking heatwaves have caused an increasing number of
heat-related deaths, including heatstroke, globally. Heatstroke is a heat illness characterized …

This paper reviews urban heat (UrHT) challenges following the SBAR (situation,
background, assessment and recommendation) framework. The results indicate that …

Heatwaves constitute a major threat to human health and ecosystems. Projected increases
in heatwave frequency and severity thus lead to the need for prediction to enhance …

Recent climate extremes have broken long-standing records by large margins. Such
extremes unprecedented in the observational period often have substantial impacts due to a …

Heat extremes (ie, heatwaves) already have a serious impact on human health, with ageing,

1.1. Background During exercise and with exposure to hot climatic conditions, there is
tendency for the human body to store heat and for body temperatures to rise. Changes in …

Background Exposure to cold or hot temperatures is associated with premature deaths. We
aimed to evaluate the global, regional, and national mortality burden associated with non …

Forest microclimates contrast strongly with the climate outside forests. To fully understand
and better predict how forests' biodiversity and functions relate to climate and climate …

Simultaneous harvest failures across major crop-producing regions are a threat to global
food security. Concurrent weather extremes driven by a strongly meandering jet stream …
