A new report from the World Health Organization (WHO) reveals that extreme heat led to approximately 200,000 excess deaths across Europe between 2022 and 2025. The data highlights a significant increase in heat-related mortality, with 2022 being the single deadliest year on record, accounting for over 61,600 deaths. Southern European nations like Italy, Spain, and Greece experienced the highest death tolls, but increases were observed across the continent. The WHO warns that climate change is exacerbating these heatwaves, making them more frequent and intense. Vulnerable populations, including the elderly, children, and those with chronic illnesses, are particularly at risk. The report emphasizes the urgent need for preventative measures, including heat action plans and improved public health infrastructure, to mitigate the impact of rising temperatures. These findings underscore the growing health crisis posed by climate change in Europe.
