flag Deforestation and urban growth worsen heatwaves by reducing natural cooling, a study finds, showing green space restoration can cut heatwave severity by up to 30%.

flag Deforestation and urban development are worsening heatwaves by reducing natural cooling from trees and vegetation, a new study from the Australian National University finds. flag While climate change remains the primary driver, loss of green cover amplifies heat intensity and duration, especially in humid areas. flag The research shows that preserving and restoring forests and urban green spaces could cut heatwave severity by up to 30%, offering a practical way to reduce extreme heat risks.
