Population vulnerability to extremes of heat in Europe (1990-2019), Apr 2023
This metadata refer to the dataset presenting the annual change in the heat vulnerability index by European country. This composite index ranges from 0 to 100, and considers the proportion of the population over 65, the prevalence of chronic diseases (chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes), and the proportion of urban population.

This indicator monitors the exposure of vulnerable populations, defined here as people older than 65 years and infants between 0 years and 1 years to heatwaves. Comparing the decadal mean average of heatwave exposure days from 2000 to 2009 with exposure days from 2010 to 2020, heatwave exposure in vulnerable groups increased by 57% across Europe, from a yearly mean average of 0·65 billion person-days between 2000 and 2009 to 1·07 billion person-days between 2010 and 2020 in populations older than 65 years. In some areas, the increase has exceeded 157%. In 2020, 1·21 billion person-days of heatwave exposure were calculated, mostly comprising exposure of people older than 65 years, with an additional 3·1 million person-days in infants under 1 year old.
