Europe reports 200,000 heat-related deaths since 2022
The World Health Organization reported that over 200,000 people have died in Europe since 2022 due to heatwaves caused by climate change, which saw record-breaking temperatures last May. The organization emphasized that most of these victims were from vulnerable groups such as the elderly and individuals with heart and kidney conditions. It also noted that the actual health impact surpasses the reported figures, as millions are suffering from physical and mental health consequences. The WHO called for a coordinated response from institutional authorities to address the increasing severity of heatwaves.
