TUDIU: Impactul schimbărilor climatice se intensifică în marile oraşe europene

A recent study published in The Lancet highlights the slow adaptation of major European cities to climate change impacts on health. It reveals increasing health risks from heatwaves, infectious diseases, and pollution. The study analyzed 28 indicators across 850 cities, showing significant regional disparities in climate-related health risks. While some cities have made progress in implementing over 1,500 adaptation measures, challenges remain due to financial and political obstacles. Researchers emphasize the need for urgent actions, including enhancing early warning systems and urban planning to mitigate climate effects on health.
