AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoUrban Heat & Public Health: A new report warns that urban heat islands are becoming a bigger health threat in tropical cities, where concrete and asphalt trap daytime heat and release it at night—leaving neighborhoods unable to cool down, especially during stalled heat domes and a strengthening 2026–2027 El Niño that could drive record temperatures. It highlights practical fixes like more shade from trees, green roofs and walls, lighter roof colors, better street airflow, and changes to midday routines, but notes many cities can’t afford full rollouts. Vaccine & Pharma Watch: Valneva says its half-year 2026 results are in line with expectations, with €64.0M in product sales and guidance of €135–150M reaffirmed, plus a strong cash position; the company also flags upcoming regulatory decisions for its Lyme disease vaccine candidate within the next year.
