Global increase in heat stress exposure
The number of people worldwide exposed to severe heat stress has increased over the past fifty years due to climate change. The percentage of the global population experiencing at least one day of extreme heat stress has risen from 16% in the 1970s to 22% today. Additionally, the area affected by heatwaves has expanded to include regions that were previously less impacted, such as parts of North America and Europe. Continuous heatwaves, especially in Europe, have led to increased health risks on a broad scale, particularly for the most vulnerable groups.
