Heat-related mortality in Europe during the summer of 2022
J. Ballester, M. Quijal-zamorano, et al.
The summer of 2022 marked an unprecedented heat wave in Europe, resulting in an alarming estimate of 61,672 heat-related deaths, especially among women aged 80 and over. Conducted by a team of researchers including Joan Ballester and François R Herrmann, this study emphasizes the urgent need for enhanced heat surveillance and adaptive strategies to protect public health from climate change's escalating threats.
