Description
Chuwei Liu and co-authors assess humid-heat risk in 2025 across China, comparing cities with the countryside. Hot, muggy weather is growing more dangerous as the planet warms. Long-term studies that split risk by urban and rural life have been scarce.
The team built a risk frame from global climate guidance and development goals, then applied it to two decades of data. Progress in development cut vulnerability most in cities, and urban risk fell. Rural areas improved more slowly, and their risk did not clearly change, though the city-country gap narrowed. Uneven development between regions drove much of the pattern. The authors call for joint urban-rural planning.
