Europe warns of heatwave deaths
Last summer, Europe experienced a severe heatwave that led to the death of approximately 18,000 people in Germany and Spain, with a significant increase in heat-related deaths, especially among the elderly and those with chronic illnesses. In Germany, the Robert Koch Institute recorded around 14,000 deaths, including more than 9,600 in just one week in June, surpassing the previous record of 8,900 deaths set in 2018. In Spain, the Carlos III Health Institute reported about 4,458 deaths, the highest number since recording began in 2022, exceeding the figures of previous years. These recent heatwaves are considered a main factor in worsening chronic diseases and are impacting vital sectors such as energy and agriculture. As temperatures continue to rise and their durations lengthen, Europe faces health, environmental, and economic challenges.
