This short communication proposes a multidimensional perspective to nighttime heat, combining recent climate data, vulnerability analysis and urban adaptation strategies. It discusses how localized urban heat islands, limited access to climate shelters, and stressors like traffic noise levels intersect to shape heat risk and climate injustice at night in Barcelona
When the sun goes down, heat vulnerability remains (BSC, UAB)

Drivers of Vulnerability to Heat Related Health impacts for Migrants in European Cities: A scoping review of the existing literature {Proyecto IMBRACE},(ICTA-BCNUEJ, UAB)
This report offers a scoping review of academic literature produced between 2005 and 2025 on how climate change—particularly extreme heat—impacts migrant health vulnerability. It applies an intersectional lens, identifying eight drivers of heat-related health vulnerability ranging from systemic inequality and discriminatory policy environments to gaps in infrastructure and health systems. By highlighting these interconnections, the report moves beyond a one size-fits-all metrics toward a justice-centered understanding of vulnerability that recognizes migrants as active agents in shaping climate adaptation.
Greening schools for climate-resilient, inclusive and liveable cities {Proyecto Coolschools} (UOC, UPC)
In this comment article, we argue that transforming schoolyards into nature-based climate shelters is more than just a cooling strategy, it is a climate justice and planetary health imperative.

Greening mitigates heat-related mortality in Paris (ISGlobal)
In Paris, trees reduce mortality linked to heat waves. An international study shows that districts with more vegetation experience lower mortality during heatwaves and that increasing green cover could reduce heat-related deaths by up to one third
