Urban Heat Island Effect and Climate Change The urban heat island effect is a phenomenon in which urban areas experience higher temperatures than their rural surroundings. This is primarily due to human activities such as energy consumption, transportation, and industrial processes, which release heat ...

Background: Recent projections expect that Vietnam will be affected most severely by climate change with higher temperatures, more precipitation and rising sea levels. Especially increased temperatures will worsen the situations in cities, amplifying the urban heat island effect. Green infrastructures, i...

Climate change threatens the health and survival of urban trees and the various benefits they deliver to urban inhabitants. Here, we show that 56% and 65% of species in 164 cities across 78 countries are currently exceeding temperature and precipitation
Urban heat islands (UHIs) exacerbate the risk of heat-related mortality associated with global climate change. The intensity of UHIs varies with population size and mean annual precipitation, but a unifying explanation for this variation is lacking, and

One of the most significant impacts of climate change in Japan will exacerbate the existing heat island phenomenon in cities by absorbing increased solar radiation. This will lead to further increases in temperatures in an urban microclimate with negative implications for energy and water consumption, ...
With the increasing urbanization, studies have shown that the Urban Heat Island (UHI) Intensity in many cities has increased drastically. This issue is becoming even more critical because of the imminent effect of Climate Change. Many cities are experiencing extreme heatwaves more frequently. It is...
