Climate crisis, cíties, and health

Prof Mark J Nisuwenhuijsen PhD^abc

^{More than ever, the climate crisis is becoming a health crisis. An estimated 5 million people globally die each pear because of suboptima! temperatures, with a large proportion of heal-related mortality (37%) attnibutable to human-induced climate change. The last few years have been the hottest on record and high temperatures claimed over 60 000 lives in Europe alone in 2022, with cities the most affected and temperatures in cities projected to increase. Urban heat islands that result from excessivo asphalt and concrete in cities contribute to an increase in temperature and premature mortality. Just over half of the world's population (56%) now lives in cities and that percentage is expected to reach nearly 70% by 2050.}
