Millennium Post Delhi|Delhi 16 May 2024
Annually, heatwaves are linked to over 1.53 lakh deaths worldwide, with India contributing to more than a fifth of these fatalities, reveals a study examining data from the past 30 years, starting 1990.
A Fifth Of Heatwave-Linked Excess Deaths In Past 30 Years Happened In India: Study

Following India, China and Russia are the next highest contributors, with approximately 14 per cent and 8 per cent of these excess deaths linked to heatwaves, respectively.

The research, spearheaded by Australia’s Monash University, discovered that around one-third of all heat-related deaths and 1 per cent of total global deaths are due to heatwave-linked excess deaths.

The study also found that nearly half of the total 1.53 lakh excess deaths each summer originated from Asia, and over 30% from Europe.

Regions with dry climates and lower-middle incomes witnessed the highest estimated death rates (deaths per population). These findings have been published in PLoS Medicine.
