Paris's High Heatwave Mortality: Urban Planning vs. Climate Change
A 2023 Lancet study found Paris to have the highest excess mortality during heatwaves among European capitals, primarily due to the 2003 heatwave; however, other cities show higher rates, highlighting the urban heat island effect and the larger influence of climate change and natural climate variabi...
