Abstract

This compilation of studies addresses the escalating issue of heat waves in arid and semi-arid regions. It examines their intensification due to urbanization and atmospheric factors, and their profound impacts on human health, infrastructure, water resources, agriculture, and economies. The research highlights the disproportionate burden on vulnerable populations and underscores the critical need for enhanced early warning systems, public health interventions, and sustainable planning. Projections indicate a worsening trend with climate change, emphasizing the urgency of global mitigation and preparedness strategies
