Reacción a "Adaptation measures in Europe prevented 80% of heat-related deaths in 2023"

The results are in line with published studies. The authors rightly question to what extent there has been sufficient adaptation since the great heatwave of 2003, considering the large number of deaths estimated in Europe in 2022. And we can see that, without the adaptation of the last years and decade, mortality would clearly have been much higher. I agree that there is still a need for a thorough monitoring of the impact of climate change on vulnerable populations and the implementation of more effective prevention plans. We monitor temperature very well, but not health impacts in the same way. Social adaptation to rising temperatures has played a crucial role in preventing mortality in Europe, but it is still insufficient. Especially when we consider that 1 in 5 heat-related deaths can be attributed to an ageing population in the coming decades.
