## Resource

June’s brutal heatwave left millions sleep-deprived and sick — with two-thirds struggling to rest and nearly half losing three hours of shut-eye nightly. This isn’t an isolated event; it’s a climate crisis in action, directly tied to global warming and already reshaping daily life. Eighty-six percent said their homes were unbearable, and health suffered for many. While most agree homes need urgent upgrades, 78% can’t afford them — so a majority backs taxing polluters to pay for the fixes. Experts have been sounding the alarm for years: the UK is woefully unprepared. With record heat becoming the norm, action is no longer optional — it’s essential to protect people from what’s coming.
