The worrying link between rising temperatures, heatwaves and human-caused climate change calls for urgent action. Real-time attribution studies, conducted by Climate Central, provide strong evidence of climate change’s role in increasing extreme weather events. Governments, communities and individuals should cooperate to implement mitigation strategies, including transition to renewable energy sources, sustainable practices, and the protection and expansion of green spaces. By taking urgent action, we can address the challenges posed by the heatwave and work towards a sustainable and resilient future for all.
