The Heat Island Effect is Not COOL

Due to the heat island effect, urban areas can add at least another 1 degree to the current 1.5-degree global warming, leading to significant health, economic, and environmental risks, street temperatures of 60-70°C, and sweltering summer nights. Considering that 74% of Europe's population lives in cities, we must immediately step up our adaptation efforts.
