Abstract

The article discusses the challenges and importance of operating cooling centers in response to rising temperatures caused by climate change. It highlights the need for accessible and strategically located cooling centers, as well as the lack of awareness among the population about their existence. The article also mentions various initiatives taken by cities and countries, such as the COOLtainer program in Arizona and the establishment of cooling centers in Japan and India. However, the effectiveness of cooling centers in protecting people from heat-related illnesses is still uncertain, and more research is needed in this area. [Extracted from the article]
