A Lancet study warns of an increase in heat-related deaths and the spread of tropical diseases and allergies in European cities due to climate change.
In almost all cities studied, 98.7 percent of urban areas, heat-related deaths increased between 2015 and 2024 compared to the period from 1991 to 2000.
Heat-related urban mortality attributable to human-induced climate change in Europe from 2000 to 2025
Anthropogenic climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme heat, with major implications for population health. Although previous studies have attributed heat-related mortality to climate change during individual events, the longer-term contribution of human-induced warming to urban mortality burdens across Europe remains poorly quantified. Here, we combine probabilistic climate attribution with city- and age-specific temp…
Climate change is hitting Europe's cities rapidly and strongly, and the effects are already visible in the health of its inhabitants. Heat-related mortality has increased, on average, by 82 deaths to one million people in the period 2015-2024, compared to 1991-2000, shows the report "Europe Cities Report 2026", published by The Lancet, quoted by Ms.
Climate change is affecting European cities strongly and rapidly, and the population is facing unusual temperatures, according to you.
