A study done by the Barcelona Islaboratory Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) that was released on Monday showed that at least 47404 people died in Europe because of heat wave in 2023 and this affected countries in the south including Greece, Bulgaria, Italy, and Spain. Last year was the warmest on record for the whole world, meaning climate change continues to raise global temperatures – Europe even more, making it the fastest warming continent and increasing danger of the heat stress to the population.

The report points out that even though the price of 2023 was lower than the estimated 60,000 deaths from heat the prior year, it would have been 80 percent greater if adaptive measures that have been effected over the last twenty years had not been put in place. Such preventable measures, for instance the warn systems, and enhanced medical care, had minimize susceptibilities and related deaths due to heat, preferably for the aged generations.

In the study, ISGlobal researchers led by Elisa Gallo used data on mortality and temperature in 35 European countries. They underlined that many Adjustments to hot climate have been Courted recently in societal terms effectively moderating the heat impact in the recent summers.
