![](https://www.dfa.unict.it/sites/default/files/global-warming-670x335.jpg)
Global warming implies risks for the environment, as well as for human beings. But not all suffer from them at the same way. This is what is demonstrated by a recent study entitled Half a degree and rapid socioeconomic development matter for heatwave risk, published on Nature Communications. Increased socio-economic development in low development countries can reduce the risk of people suffering serious harm from heatwaves. The main co-author of the paper is Dr Simone Russo, a former student at #DFA, now researcher at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission in Ispra (Italy).
