A vital issue in climate change and its effects on the environment.
Global temperatures have increased by 1.2°C since the pre-industrial era. Rising temperatures pose significant challenges requiring immediate action across various sectors. By implementing mitigation strategies, we can reduce the impacts on society.
Heatwaves are occurring 2-3 times more frequently than in the 1980s. This increased frequency impacts health, the environment, and the economy, necessitating mitigation strategies.
The health impacts of heatwaves are significant, particularly affecting vulnerable populations. Public health strategies are essential to address these challenges and enhance community resilience.
