WHO: Over 150 million people live under extreme heat, Europe is warming faster

The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, shared worrying data regarding summer temperatures today. 

"Right now, 150 million people are living under extreme heat, hundreds have died, schools are closed, networks are failing," Tedros said on 'X'.

Tedros called on European countries to implement heat health action plans as part of a broader agenda to protect health from climate change.

Europe is the fastest-warming continent on Earth, warming twice as much as the global average, Tedros noted, adding that driven by climate change and global warming, the once-in-30-year heat wave phenomenon is now occurring almost every year. /CNA
