Urban greenery makes city life more pleasant – and could save your life 🌳🏙️

A @MonashUni study in @TheLancet finds that increasing vegetation by 30% could’ve prevented 1.16M heat-related deaths (2000–2019).

🌡️🌇Cities often trap heat and become much hotter than their surrounding areas, a phenomenon called the “urban heat island” effect.

💡But some smart urban planning techniques can help reduce the heat.

🔥 Heatwaves are becoming deadlier—but cities like Amadora are fighting back.

In 2022 alone, Portugal lost 2,000+ lives to extreme heat. In response, the #MCR2030 Resilience Hub city took bold steps to protect its people. 🌡️🌳

🌡️☠️ Extreme heat can be deadly – but it’s not just about the temperature.

The heat index shows how hot it feels by combining temp & humidity.

When the heat index rises:
🧘‍♀️ Avoid exertion
🌳 Find shade
🚰 Stay hydrated

🔥 Why won’t the heat leave?

In recent weeks persistent heat waves have roasted various parts of the world. 🌐

The cause? Heat domes, which trap extreme weather in place – like a lid on a pot.
