Summary
Nearly 10,000 heat deaths in Germany The signatories demand that the European Climate Resilience Framework, a climate resilience plan currently being developed by the EU Commission, focus on health and create legally binding adaptation obligations. Something must also happen in the health sector: “The signatories undertake to make their own hospitals, practices and care facilities climate-resilient and climate-neutral, to protect patients and staff from heat and to include climate change in every clinical and nursing decision.” In Germany, according to estimates by the Robert Koch Institute, almost 10,000 people died this year because of high temperatures (as of mid-July). That’s more than every single year since 2016.
Furthermore, In view of the recent heat waves with thousands of deaths, the Federal Chamber of Physicians and around 80 other European health organisations are demanding significantly more effort from the EU. The gap in European occupational safety in the event of heat must be closed by binding, regionally adapted temperature threshold values. In addition, safe indoor temperatures for vulnerable people in the existing living space are to be guaranteed.
