UTCI field measurements in an urban park in Florence (Italy)

Miscellanea Geographica: Regional Studies on Development, 2020
The aim of this study is to evaluate human thermal comfort in different green area settings in the city of Florence by using the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI). Field measurements of air temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, wind speed

The Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) applications for microclimatic analysis in urban thermal environments. Case study; Oasis University campus, Algeria

Technium Social Sciences Journal, 2023
This work on outdoor thermal comfort tends to highlight and affirm the contribution of vegetation to outdoor thermal comfort in a climatically hostile environment by being very hot and dry, this effect of creating a more forgiving microclimate in terms of thermal atmosphere was highlighted by simulations  and in situ measurements, in a semi-open public

Accelerating Urban Heating Under Land-Cover and Climate Change Scenarios in Indonesia: Application of the Universal Thermal Climate Index

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2021
Climate change causing an increase of frequency and magnitude of heat waves has a huge impact on the urban population worldwide. In Indonesia, the Southeast Asian country in the tropical climate zone, the increasing heat wave duration due to climate ...

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and

Mitigation of Urban Heat Risks via Shading Stations: An Experimental Comparison of Fabric and Photovoltaic Shading

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 7, July 2026.
PV shading relies primarily on solid panels to block direct solar radiation. As the transmittance of PV modules is close to zero, they effectively and consistently attenuate downward short‐wave radiation. With a surface reflectance of approximately 0.12, a portion of the short‐wave solar radiation is reflected, while the remaining energy is absorbed ...

Divergent Heat Assessments Across Thermal Stress and Sensation Metrics

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract A large and growing body of literature has indicated potential inconsistencies in heat assessments due to the use of different heat stress indices (HSI). This divergence hinders the emergence of scientific consensus and impairs the development of public policy on a range of topics, including climate change impacts, public health guidance, and ...

The Association Between Heat Stress and Child Stunting, Wasting, and Underweight Under Varying Vegetation Covers in Ethiopia

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change has significantly contributed to rising malnutrition rates, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. However, evidence linking heat stress to child nutritional status remains limited. This study estimated the association between heat stress exposure and severe stunting, wasting and underweight among rural children ...
