Global economies face heat effects
Europe is experiencing a severe heatwave that has led to the closure of famous tourist landmarks. Temperatures have risen to unprecedented levels, exceeding 40°C in France and approaching similar levels in Britain, posing risks to public health and the economy. A study estimates that heatwaves cost the global economy around 1% of its output, potentially rising to 3% by 2050, with possible losses reaching hundreds of billions of dollars in European countries such as France, Italy, Germany, and Spain. Additionally, the hot weather has damaged the tourism and productivity sectors, while leading to a significant increase in air conditioning sales, putting additional pressure on power grids, reducing productivity, and raising energy costs.
