Noncommunicable Diseases Climate Change

Estimating the urban heat-related mortality burden due to greenness: a global modelling study. The Lancet Planetary Health.

This study aimed to estimate the effects of increased greenness in urban areas on heat-related deaths. Modeling suggests that preserving and expanding greenness is a potential solution to lower ambient temperatures and reduce the health impacts of heat exposure.
