Understanding varying levels of biodiversity within cities is pivotal to protect it in the face of
global urbanisation. In the early stages of urban ecology studies on intra‐urban biodiversity …

Heatwave effects on human health and wellbeing is a great public health concern,
especially in the context of climate change. However, no universally consistent heatwave …

Background: Few studies have examined variation in the associations between heat waves
and mortality in an international context. Objectives: We aimed to systematically examine the …

Heat waves (HWs) are recognized as a serious threat for human health worldwide, with
urban areas being more vulnerable due to the urban heat island (UHI) effect and population …

Rationale: Extremes of heat and particulate air pollution threaten human health and are
becoming more frequent because of climate change. Understanding the health impacts of …

Abstract Scope, Delineations, and Definitions: Livelihoods, Poverty, and Inequality
Understanding the impacts of climate change on livelihoods and poverty requires examining …

Background: Understanding which populations are vulnerable and which factors affect
vulnerability to temperature-mortality associations is important to reduce the health burden …

The temporal structure of heat waves having substantial human impact varies widely, with
many featuring a compound structure of hot days interspersed with cooler breaks. In …

Background: Addressing vulnerability to heat-related mortality is a necessary step in the
development of policies dictated by heat action plans. We aimed to provide a systematic …

The urban heat island (UHI) effect exacerbates the adverse impact of heat on human health.
However, while the UHI effect is further intensified during extreme heat events, prior studies …
