## Resource

Europe recorded over ten thousand excess deaths during a deadly June heatwave, with nearly all occurring among those aged sixty-five and older—highlighting how extreme heat devastates vulnerable populations by exacerbating heart and lung conditions. Scientists confirm this spike is directly tied to human-driven climate change, making such intense heatwaves far more likely. Belgium hit its record for excess deaths during this period, while a separate study in England and Wales linked nearly 2,700 deaths to the May-June heatwaves, with a large share directly caused by global warming’s added heat.
