Ondas de calor mataram 120 mil pessoas no Brasil em 20 anos, diz Fiocruz

A recent study by Fiocruz and UFBA reveals that Brazil experienced 120,000 heat wave-related deaths between 2000 and 2019, making up 0.6% of the total mortality during that period. This alarming data underscores the severe impact of climate change on public health, highlighting the urgent need for robust public health measures and policy interventions to mitigate heat wave risks. As global temperatures continue to rise, understanding and addressing these trends becomes increasingly crucial for safeguarding vulnerable populations.
