Heat-related mortality per European country (2000-2020), Apr 2023
This metadata refer to the dataset presenting the modelled annual heat-related mortality incidence (annual deaths per million inhabitants) in Europe between 2000 and 2020
Heat-related deaths are estimated to have increased in 931 (94%) of the 990 regions monitored from 2000 to 2020, with an overall mean increase of 15·1 (95% CI –1·51 to 31·6) annual deaths per million inhabitants per decade for the general population, and 60·4 (–17·8 to 138·6) extra deaths per million inhabitants per decade for people 65 years and older.

Without accelerated mitigation and adaptation actions, climate change projections for Europe suggest a progressive reduction in cold-related deaths and a simultaneous increase in heat-related deaths, with projections consistently indicating that the increase in heat-related deaths will exceed reductions of cold-related deaths by the second half of the 21st century. By combining epidemiological models with weekly European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ERA5-Land) temperatures and Eurostat mortality counts to track trends in heat-related mortality.
