Europe is warming faster than any other continent, making heat one of the most pressing public health challenges of our time.
The first CATALYSE narrative brings together the latest evidence on:
- Populations most vulnerable to heat
- Occupational risks for workers
- Urban heat islands and city adaptation
- Heat-health action plans
- How adaptation is already reducing heat-related mortality across Europe
The report highlights why protecting vulnerable populations requires evidence-based adaptation policies and stronger collaboration across public health, urban planning and climate sectors.
