Europe's Worsening Heatwaves: The Deadliest Cities and Rising Risks

A recent study highlights that heatwaves in Europe, intensified by climate change, have caused thousands of deaths, with urban areas like Milan and Paris being particularly vulnerable due to factors like building materials, pollution, and lack of air conditioning. The risk of heat-related mortality varies across cities, influenced by urban design, socioeconomic factors, and local climate, emphasizing the need for better cooling strategies to mitigate future risks.
