More than 60% of deaths attributable to ozone air pollution in Europe are caused by pollution imported from other world regions, new @NatureMedicine study finds https://t.co/KCXHVA7HGO
📰✨ In our new @TheLancetPlanet paper, we discuss the importance of disentangling the different dimensions of urban heat vulnerability🥵 (exposure, susceptibility, and adaptive capacity) for effective and equitable adaptation👇

🌳 En París, más vegetación = menos muertes por calor.
Un estudio con participación de ISGlobal muestra que aumentar la cobertura verde podría reducir hasta un tercio la mortalidad asociada a altas temperaturas.
Los árboles son más eficaces que el césped gracias a la sombra y la evapotranspiración.

🌳In Paris, districts with more vegetation have a lower risk of mortality during periods of high heat, while highly built areas with few green spaces and a high potential for urban heat islands are the most exposed.
This is the conclusion of a study led by @Inserm, #ISGlobal and the @LSHTM.

ISPM will host a new SNSF Swiss Postdoctoral Fellow – Hicham Achebak, a postdoctoral researcher at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), has been awarded the highly competitive SNSF Swiss Postdoctoral Fellowship (SPF) on his project TEMPO. https://t.co/pTRAdGjHxX
The record-breaking temperatures in Europe during the 2022 summer were associated with over 60,000 heat-related deaths, and a study in @Nature_NPJ Climate and Atmospheric Science attributes more than half of those deaths to human-caused warming. https://t.co/6lJI6suwqS
🌡️🌍A new #ISGlobal study has now found that more than half - 56% - of the heat-related deaths in the summer of 2022 in Europe were related to human-induced #ClimateChange.
👉Women and people aged 80 and over were the most affected.

Over 47,000 heat-related deaths may have occurred in Europe in the year 2023, a study published in @NatureMedicine suggests. However, this total could have been up to 80% higher in the absence of present-century societal adaptations to rising temperatures. https://t.co/Nk08D155ap
A new study shows that behavioral and social changes can reduce heat mortality. But challenges remain as temperatures continue to rise. https://t.co/HBhbvKG7Ge
🌡️Heat caused more than 47,000 deaths in Europe in 2023, the second highest burden of the last decade.
📄This is the conclusion of a new study led by #ISGlobal and published in @NatureMedicine.
Follow the thread for the results🧵🪡
El impacto del calor en la salud tiene forma de pirámide: en la punta están las muertes por golpe de calor (un 2%) y, por debajo, quedan afectaciones más difíciles de medir: malestar por no pegar ojo o fallecimientos por el empeoramiento de enfermedades https://t.co/x7khrnnAuh
A health impact assessment of #ozone-related mortality across 35 #European countries found that 88% of deaths are attributable by transboundary transported ozone. @hachebak@ISGLOBALorg

🌍The #ozone pollution research led by BSC & @ISGLOBALorg is the cover story of this issue of @NatureMedicine 👏👏👏
🖼️ And the cover design was the work of BSC's communication team!
🫶🏻Congratulations, Mario and Albert!

🌬️ "Los efectos sobre la salud del ozono, y de cualquier contaminante atmosférico en general, distan mucho de ser una cuestión local. [...] El 11,7% de las muertes atribuibles al ozono fueron causadas por fuentes nacionales", explica Hicham @hachebak.

🌁 Imported ozone accounts for a staggering 88.3% of O3-related deaths in Europe.
This new study highlights the urgent need for coordinated actions across borders to combat #AirPollution and protect public health.
