Global heatwaves impact 1.3 billion
During the last summer, which is considered one of the hottest on record, the world experienced unprecedented climate impacts. These effects directly affected over 1.3 billion people globally between June and August. Record temperatures were recorded in 52 countries across different continents, with some European countries like France and the United Kingdom surpassing previous extremes, where temperatures exceeded historical averages by more than 3°C. The heatwaves resulted in over 35,000 deaths in Europe alone. Additionally, regions such as Sudan, currently facing severe food crises, experienced unusually low water levels in the Nile River, along with extraordinary heat waves in other parts of Asia, America, and Australia. The El Niño phenomenon also reached high levels and is expected to peak by the end of the year, further amplifying the impacts of climate change on communities and the environment.
