The population experiencing high temperatures in cities is rising due to anthropogenic climate change, settlement expansion, and growth. Yet, efficient tools evaluate potential intervention strategies reduce exposure Land Surface Temperature (LST) extremes are still lacking. Here, we implement a spatial regression model based on remote sensing data that able assess the LST urban environments across 200 surface properties like vegetation cover distance water bodies. We define as number of days per year where exceeds given threshold multiplied by total exposed, person ⋅ day. Our findings reveal plays considerable role decreasing extremes. show targeting high-exposure areas reduces needed for same decrease compared uniform treatment.

Abstract Brief introduction: What are microclimates and why they important? Microclimate science has developed into a global discipline. is increasingly used to understand mitigate climate biodiversity shifts. Here, we provide an overview of the current status microclimate ecology biogeography in terrestrial ecosystems, where this field heading next. investigations We highlight latest research on interactions between organisms, including how influence individuals, through them populations, communities entire ecosystems their processes. also briefly discuss recent organisms shape from tropics poles. applications ecosystem management Microclimates important under change. showcase new with examples conservation, forestry urban ecology. importance microrefugia conservation promote heterogeneity. Methods for advances data acquisition, such as novel sensors remote sensing methods. modelling, mapping processing, accessibility modelling tools, advantages mechanistic statistical solutions computational challenges that have pushed state‐of‐the‐art field. What's next? identify major knowledge gaps need be filled further advancing investigations, These include spatiotemporal scaling data, mismatches macroclimate predicting responses change, more evidence outcomes management.

Current urban and transport planning practices have significant negative health, environmental, social economic impacts in most cities. New development models policies are needed to reduce these impacts. The Superblock model is one such innovative that can significantly through reshaping public spaces into more diverse uses as increase green space, infrastructure supporting contacts physical activity, prioritization of active mobility transport, thereby reducing air pollution, noise heat island effects. This paper reviews key aspects the model, its implementation initial evaluations Barcelona potential international uptake Europe globally, focusing on climate, lifestyle, liveability health aspects. We used a narrative meta-review approach PubMed Google scholar databases were searched using specific terms. Super block slow, but with improvement in, for example, indicators, although not so consistently. When applied large scale, only likely result better environmental conditions, wellbeing, also contribute fight against climate crisis. There need further expansion program evaluation answers related concerns, equity gentrification, traffic exposure displacement. gained growing reputation variations it being planned or implemented cities worldwide.

Climate change is elevating nighttime and daytime temperatures worldwide, affecting a broad continuum of behavioral health outcomes. Disturbed sleep plausible pathway linking rising ambient with several observed adverse human responses shown to increase during hot weather. This systematic review aims provide comprehensive overview the literature investigating relationship between temperature valid outcomes measured in real-world settings, globally. We show that higher outdoor or indoor are generally associated degraded quality quantity worldwide. The negative effect heat persists across measures, stronger hottest months days, vulnerable populations, warmest regions. Although we identify opportunities strengthen state science, limited evidence fast adaptation suggests induced by climate urbanization pose planetary threat sleep, therefore health, performance, wellbeing.

Climate warming disproportionately impacts countries in the Global South by increasing extreme heat exposure. However, geographic disparities adaptation capacity are unclear. Here, we assess global inequality green spaces, which urban residents critically rely on to mitigate outdoor stress. We use remote sensing data quantify daytime cooling greenery warm seasons across ~500 largest cities globally. show a striking contrast, with having ~70% of North (2.5 ± 1.0 °C vs. 3.6 1.7 °C). A similar gap occurs for benefits received an average resident these (2.2 0.9 3.4 This is due discrepancies space quantity and quality between South, shaped socioeconomic natural factors. Our analyses further suggest vast potential enhancing while reducing inequality.
