Abstract
- The author discusses the need for countries to adapt to extreme heat caused by climate change. Topics covered include deaths resulting from heat waves, the more frequent occurrence of heat waves due to the continued accumulation of atmospheric greenhouse gases, and urbanization's intensification of heat-related health risks. Also mentioned are the need for warning systems about extreme heat's lethality, the necessity of cool shaded areas and fresh water, and designing heat-resilient buildings.
