🌡️In 2023, nearly 50,000 people died from heat-related causes in Europe, with Southern Europe hit hardest. This is more than double the EU's road accident deaths that same year. Act now with #CitiesRefresh to restore health & protect communities. Join us: eu-mayors.ec.europa.eu/en/Cities-Refr…


Heatwaves are prolonged periods of unusually high temperatures, but there's no standard definition across Europe. Only half of EU countries track heat's health impacts. Cities are stepping up with policies, awareness, & early warning systems. Join us 👉eu-mayors.ec.europa.eu/en/Cities-Refr…
