Temperature-related human mortality (TRM) in European regions
Partners involved
Institute of Global Health, Almada City Council
Overview
Europe emerges as an especially sensitive area to climate change with more frequent, longer and harsher summer heat waves. Temperature-Related Mortality (TRM) can be largely avoided if informed decisions are made prior to extreme climate events to protect vulnerable populations.
