“…The results reveal the following: (1) An impact chain exists between ecosystem services, heat waves and mortality risk. (2) The impact of carbon sequestration service on heat waves is the strongest. (3) The elderly, women and people with cardiorespiratory diseases are most at risk from heat waves.…”

In the context of climate change, heat waves are a serious hazard having significant impacts on human health, especially vulnerable populations. Many studies have researched the association between extreme heat and mortality. In the context of urban planning, many studies have explored the cooling effect of green roofs, parks, urban forests and urban gardens. Nevertheless, few studies have analyzed the effect mechanism of specific ecosystem services (ESs) as mitigation measures to heat waves. This study aimed to determine the relationship among ESs, heat waves and the heat-related mortality risk of different groups by diseases, age and sex. The research was conducted in three cities in Jiangsu Province, including Nanjing, Suzhou and Yancheng. We quantified five ecosystem services, i.e., water supply service, carbon sequestration service, cooling service, biodiversity and cultural service. Based on the previous studies, we took the frequency of heat waves into account, extending the concept of the Heat Wave Magnitude Index (HWMI). A distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) was applied to estimate the effect of extreme heat on mortality. Then, the study used the process analysis method to explore the relationship among ESs, heat waves and heat-related mortality risks. The results indicated that (i) water supply service, carbon sequestration service, cooling service and biodiversity can reduce heat-related mortality while cultural service increases; (ii) the effects of carbon sequestration service and cultural service are stronger than other ESs; (iii) the effects of ESs on cardiorespiratory disease, stroke and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mortality risks are higher than others; and (iv) women and elderly heat-related mortality risks are more affected by the ESs. This study can provide a theoretical support for policy makers to mitigate heatwave events, thus limiting heat-related mortality.

“…Currently, climate change is a paramount challenge, and almost all regions of the world are experiencing warming [1,2]. There is a general agreement that extreme heat affects the body's temperature-regulating mechanism, leading to heat-related diseases and exacerbating cardiorespiratory diseases [3].…”
