AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoUrban Heat & Public Health: A new report warns that urban heat islands are becoming a bigger health threat in tropical cities, where hot, humid weather is already hard on residents. Heat-trapping concrete and asphalt can keep neighborhoods dangerously warm for days, and a strengthening 2026–2027 El Niño could push temperatures even higher—raising risks for people who are poor, elderly, young, disabled, or forced to work outdoors. The piece highlights practical cooling options like more shade, green roofs and walls, lighter roof colors, and better street airflow, but stresses that many cities can’t afford full rollout. Vaccine & Health Industry Watch: Valneva reported €64.0M in first-half product sales and reaffirmed 2026 guidance (€135–150M), with a strong cash position and plans tied to regulatory decisions for a Lyme disease vaccine candidate expected within the next year.
