Travelling through the hot outdoors

"Extreme heat poses an urgent threat to human health. It kills thousands of people each year, and research suggests this figure is rising due to the effects of human-induced climate change. In Australia alone, the number of deaths from heatwaves is expected to double in the next 40 years."

"Research shows people often recognise the risks of extreme heat, but don’t believe it will affect them personally. educating people about extreme heat led them to avoid heatwave-prone places." >>

"Sea level rise (SLR)
poses a prominent challenge to current and future generations, impacting the habitability of coastlines, trade routes, and major infrastructure systems near the ocean."

"Our results highlight geographic variability in exposure and demonstrate the benefits that low-emissions pathways imply for preserving built environments."
