Assessment of Heatwave Impacts
Procedia Engineering, 2016 The frequency and intensity of urban heatwaves (UHWs) have been growing worldwide due to climate change and the exacerbating effects of urban heat islands (UHIEs). UHWs have many negative impacts, including excess negative health outcomes (e.g. morbidity), energy (consumption and peak demand) and water consumption.

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The growing complexity and severity of cross‐border climate risks characterised by non‐linear impact chains and deep uncertainty questions the capacity of environmental governance to tackle these problems effectively and in a just manner. To increase the efficiency of climate action, the private sector has been called upon to leverage market ...

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.Satellite (MODIS) mapping links Urban Heat Island (UHI) intensity to city‐scale energy demand—higher daytime cooling demand and altered nighttime heating demand—supporting targeted mitigation and planning. ABSTRACT This study examines the surface urban heat island (SUHI) effect on building energy consumption in Tehran from 1998 to 2024, utilizing MODIS

Lakes are experiencing more severe heatwaves than the atmosphere
Communications Earth & EnvironmentThe extent of the differences between atmospheric and lake heatwaves remains unclear. Here we analysed daily surface water and air temperature data from 265 lakes worldwide (2000–2022) to compare heatwave trends, spatial distributions, and key ...
