摘要

Cities are vulnerable to heat-related health impacts due to the compounding effects of urban heat island (UHI) and rising temperatures because of climate change. Here we characterise the contextual factors exacerbating and attenuating the risk of mortality associated with high temperature in the city of Paris. Findings suggest that reducing urban heat and mitigating UHI through urban greening should be at the forefront of adaptation strategies to prevent heat-related health impacts in cities.
