| dc.description | The aim of this report is, first, to inform about the current and projected changes to heat stress hazard and exposure as a result of climate change, particularly in urban areas; second, highlight the socioeconomic impacts of heat, including on human health, labor productivity, and mortality; third, provide an overview of available heat adaptation options and the policy landscape of heat-health action plans (HHAPs) in Germany, including identified barriers for heat adaptation; and finally, discuss the benefits and costs of selected measures with a focus on preparedness for heat extremes. | |
