heatwave is already building over the Atlantic. Portugal and southern Spain are forecast to reach 43\u00b0C this week, while France and the Benelux are bracing for another heat surge. Parts of Central Asia are also experiencing 40\u00b0C heat.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-mobile-only\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\"

loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>And Europe is not prepared, the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for Europe, Hans Kluge, warned in a statement on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Not even half of the countries in the European Region have plans on how to address heat-health risks when temperatures soar \u2014 named by the WHO as national Heat-health Action Plans \u2014 Kluge warned. <\/p>\n<p>WHO Europe chief stressed the need for all countries to have such plans which would cover meteorological early warnings, outreach to groups at increased risk and coordination between health, occupational health, social care, housing and urban planning authorities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id

class=\"c-widget-related__item\">Deaths in Belgium increased by 39% during June heatwave<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cCountries with well-functioning plans know in advance who is responsible for what, which populations are most at risk, and at which temperature threshold each level of response is activated,\u201d Kluge said, adding that having this clarity before a heatwave arrives is the &#8220;life-saving difference&#8221; between a managed response and a reactive one. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe work now is on two fronts,\u201d he said. \u201cFixing what failed in recent weeks before the next heatwave hits and building the kind of health systems that don\u2019t just respond to extreme heat but are ready for it,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Preliminary data from Western Europe point to more than 4,000 additional deaths as soaring June temperatures strained health systems. <\/p>\n<p>To not repeat the same scenario, Kluge had convened an emergency call on extreme heat, with representatives from 41 European countries, the European Commission and civil society groups to analyse lessons learned from the previous heatwave. <\/p>\n<p>The WHO Europe chief praised initiatives such as the Italian mortality surveillance system, Spain\u2019s media communication strategy and Austria\u2019s updated heat plan. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese examples matter because they are replicable,\u201d Kluge said, emphasising that tools exist. \u201cWhen plans are in place and tested before a crisis, they save lives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>

Portugal and southern Spain are forecast to reach 43\u00b0C this week, while\u00a0 France and the Benelux are bracing for another heat surge. Parts of Central Asia are also experiencing 40\u00b0C heat.And Europe is not prepared, the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Director for Europe, Hans Kluge, warned in a statement on Tuesday.Not even half of the countries in the European Region have plans on how to address heat-health risks when temperatures soar \u2014 named by the WHO as national Heat-health Action Plans \u2014 Kluge warned.\u00a0WHO Europe chief stressed the need for all countries to have such plans which would cover meteorological early warnings, outreach to groups at increased risk and coordination between health, occupational health, social care, housing and urban planning authorities.\u201cCountries with well-functioning plans know in advance who is responsible for what, which populations are most at risk, and at which temperature threshold each level of response is activated,\u201d Kluge said, adding that having this clarity before a heatwave arrives is the &#8220;life-saving difference&#8221; between a managed response and a reactive one.\u00a0\u201cThe work now is on two fronts,\u201d he said. \u201cFixing what failed in recent weeks before the next heatwave hits and building the kind of health systems that don\u2019t just respond to extreme heat but are ready for it,\u201d he said.\u00a0Preliminary data from Western Europe point to more than 4,000 additional deaths as soaring June temperatures strained health systems.\u00a0To not repeat the same scenario, Kluge had convened an emergency call on extreme heat, with representatives from 41 European countries, the European Commission and civil society groups to analyse lessons learned from the previous heatwave.\u00a0The WHO Europe chief praised initiatives such as the Italian mortality surveillance system, Spain\u2019s media communication strategy and Austria\u2019s updated heat plan.\u00a0\u201cThese examples matter because they are replicable,\u201d Kluge said, emphasising that tools exist. \u201cWhen plans are in place and tested before a crisis, they save lives,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/health\/2026\/07\/07\/heatwave-who-says-europes-readiness-for-extreme-heat-falls-short&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/36\/64\/50\/1200x675_cmsv2_9bf20e5f-d972-5a4f-9e68-ed88f29e6b8f-9366450.jpg&#8221;] Culture news Nymphs and Nereids: Mount Olympus hosts annual polytheism festival Europe Today Le Pen &#8216;will prove innocence&#8217; despite conviction, Leggeri says Europe Today Watch: Fake condoms, counterfeit weight-loss pens and the toy labels testing EU borders No Comment Ali Khamenei&#8217;s coffin passes through thousands of mourners in Iraq&#8217;s holy city of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2032358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2032358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2032358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2032358\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2032358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2032358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2032358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
