Abstract: In this paper, a mathematical model is proposed to study the effect of heat waves on the human population and to reduce the intensity of heat waves with the help of avenue vegetation. Model analysis suggests that the intensity of heat waves decreases, and the density of the human population increases as the intrinsic growth rate and carrying capacity of avenue vegetation are increased. It is also found that the emission rate of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the growth rate coefficient of atmospheric temperature destabilise the system. The numerical simulation of the model confirms these analytical results.
