A national heatwave response plan has already been activated in the country, and residents are being advised to use unusual but effective methods to cool their homes.<\/p>\n<p>Heatwave Coordinator at the Amsterdam Institute of Public Health <strong>Eline Kulen<\/strong> called on the city\u2019s residents to hang curtains, sheets or blinds on the outside of their windows. Most houses in the Netherlands are designed for a cool and damp climate, so large windows retain heat well in winter but cause serious problems during the summer heat.<\/p>\n<p>Experts explain that the most effective solution is to prevent the sun\u2019s rays from heating the glass. That is why external blinds work much better than internal ones.<\/p>\n<h2>The heatwave is claiming hundreds of lives<\/h2>\n<p>According to local experts, in Amsterdam alone, due to <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/science-tech\/vooz-elis-ninyo-2026-prognoz\/\">the effects of high temperatures<\/a> Around 110 people die each year. Unless additional measures are taken to adapt to climate change, this figure could rise to 600 cases a year. The Netherlands National Institute for Public Health (RIVM) emphasises that combating heatwaves must take place simultaneously on three levels: changing people\u2019s behaviour, modernising housing and adapting the urban environment.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00abMobile Jungle\u00bb and artificial trees<\/h2>\n<p>Scientists and local authorities are testing new approaches to cooling streets. Experimental solutions include mobile green structures (\u00abjungles on wheels\u00bb), artificial trees, pergolas with plants, art installations that provide shade, as well as additional green spaces and parks. Experts point out that even small areas of shade can significantly improve people\u2019s comfort during heatwaves and lower the ambient temperature.<\/p>\n<h2>Trees are beneficial even for the economy<\/h2>\n<p>Economist and Head of Climate Strategy at ABN Amro <strong>Sandra Flippen<\/strong> believes that investment in green spaces makes sense not only from an environmental but also from an economic perspective. According to her estimates, a single sleepless night due to the heat can cost a person nearly 200 euros in lost productivity. If dozens or hundreds of residents in an area sleep poorly during a heatwave, the economic losses could exceed the cost of greening the area.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041d\u0456\u0434\u0435\u0440\u043b\u0430\u043d\u0434\u0438 \u0432\u0436\u0438\u0432\u0430\u044e\u0442\u044c
