As per a study by Life course and Aging, the probability of severe vision impairment increased with an increase in temperatures. This was more pronounced among individuals aged 65-79 compared to those aged 80 & above, & the trend was more notable among men than women.#ClimateChange

Since 1880, #climatechange has caused the average global temperature to climb by 1.1 degrees Celsius (source: NASA). This means the number of really hot days and heat waves has increased with a variety of severe implications. To adapt public transport to climate change, walks to transit stations and waits at transit stations must be minimised. This involves re-structuring last mile connectivity options and designing transit stations to endure high temperatures, using heat-resistant materials, and adequate ventilation.
