| Description: | The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified climate change as the greatest threat to public health in the 21st century. Heat waves kill more people than any other extreme weather event combined, and they are becoming more frequent as the climate changes. Estimates in Europe suggest that heat waves are responsible for between 91 and 99% of all weather-related deaths. According to the WHO, heat waves are 30 times more deadly than it was previously thought. 74% of countries provide weather information to their health services, but only 23% use it to protect public health during hot weather. |
