Summary
In several countries, despite increasing episodes of extreme temperatures, heat-related health impacts seem to be decreasing. This highlights the effectiveness of current prevention measures. Nevertheless, projections for Europe clearly indicate that without adequate efforts for heat–health adaptation to climate change, heat-related exposures and the associated health impacts could increase substantially. Such projections, combined with long-term trends of ageing and urbanization, strongly warrant the adoption of a long-term perspective to manage the health effects of temperature in the context of a changing climate.
