A new report issued by the UN's Children's Fund, UNICEF, reveals that nearly 400 children were killed in 2021, alone, across Europe and Central Asia, as drastically-increasing temperatures threaten the lives of the youngest and most vulnerable.An estimated 377 children were killed in 2021 by rising temperatures across Europe and Central Asia.

In the report 'Beat the heat: child health amid heatwaves in Europe and Central Asia,' the UN Children's Fund documents that half of these children died from heat-related illnesses in their first year of life.

Given this reality, UNICEF urges governments across Europe and Central Asia to integrate strategies to reduce the impact of heatwaves, invest in heat health action plans and primary health care to more adequately support heat-related illness among children, and also invest in early warning systems, including heat alert systems.
