Results Between 2015 and 2019, the economic impact of selected health effects of heat waves amounts to 鈧5 billion, mainly in mortality (鈧2 billion), minor restricted activity days (鈧 billion), and morbidity (鈧31 billion). Conclusion The results highlight a significant economic burden on ...
The adverse health effects of heatwaves are largely preventable. Prevention requires a range of actions at different levels: from health system preparedness coordinated with meteorological early warning systems to timely public and medical advice and improvements to housing and urban planning. These ...
The aim of this narrative review is to bring together evidence from epidemiological studies and health impact assessments to provide an overview of what is known about current and projected effects of heat on population level health in the UK. We review only those impacts directly related to incre...

There is still a lot we don't understand about the complex interplay andfeedback loopsbetween climate change and mental health—especially the effects of heatwaves. But what we do know is that we are playing a dangerous game with ourselves and the planet. Heatwaves, and the effects they hav...
Future scenarios of climate change state that heat waves will become more intense and frequent. Due to this, the implementation of prevention plans to reduce the health effects of heat waves are indispensable in public health policy.doi:10.1007/978-94-007-5784-4_19Aurelio Tobias...
Focus on public health, social care, and building regulations This summer Europe has again been affected by a major heat wave and England triggered its heat wave response plan for the first time.1 In 2003, the impact of the heat wave in central France was unprecedented, with more than 14 ...
