The city faces urban heat islands with temperature differences reaching 11 °C, caused by dense urban structures and low-reflectivity materials that retain heat and reduce thermal comfort, compromising public health and quality of life. Trees Trees Parks Parks Urban forests/Green spaces Urban forests/Green spaces Green roofs Green roofs OBJECTIVE: Promoting climate change adaptation in urban tourism, through the involvement of citizens. . The devastation of recent storms has sparked questions about how cities are being built and planned in the face of climate change. Houses destroyed, trees fallen, entire streets turned into rivers: Portugal's recent deadly storms have caused untold damage and left thousands displaced. Experts say. . Lisbon is one of the European capitals with the lowest tree coverage and one of the most exposed territories in Portugal to the impacts of climate change. According to the Troll-Paffen climate classification, Lisbon has a warm-temperate subtropical climate (Warmgemäßigt-subtropisches. . At least 15 people have died in weeks of storms in Portugal, as fresh flooding forced the evacuation of around 3,000 residents, triggered the collapse of a motorway, and led to the resignation of the interior minister.
