European cities are on the "front line" of the climate crisis and its impact on public health. A study released today warns that the risks associated with climate change are increasing significantly in urban areas across the European continent.
The study indicates that the risks are particularly high in southern Europe, where the effects of global warming are felt most intensely. This region faces increased challenges in terms of extreme temperatures and water scarcity.
Researchers warn that cities need to implement urgent adaptation measures to protect the population from the growing effects of climate change. Public health emerges as one of the main concerns identified in the study.
