Future changes of bioclimate in Greece: Variations in thermal stress according to the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI)

Science of The Total Environment
The climate change and rising global surface temperature present urgent, immediate challenges, particularly in Mediterranean regions, where bioclimate is shifting significantly. This study examines the future bioclimate in Greece by projecting changes in thermal stress from 2031 to 2060 relative to 1991-2020.
