The study findings show that heat-related mortality, particularly in the last seven years, has surged to alarming levels, underscoring the urgent need for action.
Researchers are concerned that climate change will exacerbate this trend, which has led to over 2,300 heat-related deaths in just one year—2023.
The trend is particularly notable as it contrasts with earlier research that suggested a slight decrease in heat-related deaths from 1975 to 2018.
Notably, heat-related deaths may be underreported as they often aren't listed as the primary cause, complicating our understanding of the true impact of heat.
