## Resource

Europe just endured a deadly heatwave in late June, with over 10,000 excess deaths across 27 countries — most among the elderly, whose bodies struggle with extreme heat. Officials confirm this spike is unusually severe for the season, and climate change is widely blamed for making such deadly heatwaves more frequent and intense. France and Belgium saw the worst impacts, with Belgium hitting its highest heat-related death toll since 2000. A separate study in England and Wales linked nearly 2,700 deaths directly to global warming-driven heat, underscoring how climate change is already claiming lives right now, right here.
