Extreme heat and cold cause approximately 407,500 deaths in Europe every year, and if nothing further is done to combat climate change, an additional 55,000 people will die annually by the year 2100 \u2013 a 13.5 per cent increase, according to new estimates from European Commission researchers.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the vast majority of Europe\u2019s temperature-related deaths are tied to cold weather, but extreme heat will become an increasingly lethal challenge, particularly in southern Europe and areas with more elderly people, according to the study, which was published in The Lancet Public Health journal.<\/p>\n<p>The analysis assumed a 3\u00b0C increase in global warming, which is at the upper end of the current trajectory, according to the latest United Nations estimates. It\u2019s also double the 1.5\u00b0C goal set by the Paris Agreement. \u201cEurope, like the rest of the world, is facing a growing number of extremely hot days, and countries are not prepared for the impacts this will have on the health of their populations,\u201d Madeleine Thomson, head of climate impacts and adaptation at the UK-based health foundation the Wellcome Trust, which was not involved in the study, said in an email.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers analysed data for nearly 1,400 regions in 30 countries across Europe to estimate the number of deaths from extreme heat and cold weather over time, and took population ageing into account to predict how these levels could change by 2100. That approach allowed them to identify \u201chotspots where people will be worst affected in the future,\u201d Juan-Carlos Ciscar, one of the study authors and a scientific officer at the Commission\u2019s Joint Research Centre (JRC), said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Between 1991 and 2020, there were about 364,000 cold-related deaths and 44,000 heat-related deaths per year across Europe, with cold killing more people in eastern Europe and extreme heat causing more fatalities in southern Europe, the study found. These regional disparities are only expected to grow, according to the researchers.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/health\/2024\/08\/22\/european-death-toll-from-extreme-temperatures-will-climb-without-climate-action-scientists\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/european-death-toll-from-extreme-temperatures-will-climb-without-climate-action-scientists-warn\/\">European death toll from extreme temperatures will climb without climate action, scientists warn<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[15803,12908,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-133213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-european-death-toll","tag-extreme-temperatures","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133213","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133213"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133213\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
