## Resource

Europe’s scorching heatwave is breaking records and claiming lives—with over 1,000 excess deaths in France alone and temperatures soaring across Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Power grids are buckling, transport is grinding to a halt, and rivers are drying up, threatening agriculture and even nuclear plants. Scientists blame climate change, saying once-rare heatwaves are now annual disasters. Cities and buildings aren’t built for this, leaving millions vulnerable. While some areas cool off, the damage lingers—and the world is being forced to confront how badly it’s unprepared for the new normal.
