The current heatwave in Europe has recorded record high temperatures, ranging between 35 and 39 degrees Celsius, with some areas experiencing even up to 40 and 41 degrees. This has led to the closure of schools, train delays, power outages, and damage to agriculture. Studies have shown that heatwaves and droughts have increased poverty by approximately 1.1 percentage points (equivalent to 5.6 million people), and have caused greater income losses for families in impoverished areas. Additionally, they have led to a decline in labor productivity by over 6% in some European regions by the middle of the century. These phenomena impose enormous economic burdens, with estimated losses amounting to around 822 billion euros between 1980 and 2024, and their impacts on health, the environment, and infrastructure continue to grow.
