Quadrupling of heat-attributable cardiovascular deaths by 2050 across 471 cities in south and southeast Asia: urban greening could prevent 32,000 deaths
Extreme heat intensifies cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in urban heat islands (UHI). Climate change threatens to amplify this burden, yet comprehensive assessments are absent for rapidly urbanising Global South regions. We modelled urban greening impacts on heat-attributable CVD in South and Southeast Asi...
