Effects of heatwave features on machine-learning-based heat-related ambulance calls prediction models in Japan

Deng Ke et al.

Summary: Researchers have found substantial evidence of increasing extreme temperature events, which will have implications for public health and emergency medical resources. A method has been developed to predict the number of heat-related ambulance calls using machine-learning models. The inclusion of heatwave features significantly improves prediction accuracy.

Health effects from heat waves in France: an economic evaluation

Lucie Adelaide et al.

Summary: This study assessed the economic impact of mortality, morbidity, and well-being loss during heat waves in France between 2015 and 2019, finding a significant economic burden on the French health system and population. A better understanding of the economic impacts of climate change on health is needed to support urgent mitigation actions.

Hospital healthcare costs attributable to heat and future estimations in the context of climate change in Perth, Western Australia

Michael Xiaoliang Tong et al.

Summary: Climate change with increasing temperature has a significant impact on human health, leading to more heat-related diseases and burdening the healthcare system. This study estimated heat-attributable hospital healthcare costs in Perth, Western Australia, and found that higher temperatures were associated with increased hospital costs. The findings emphasize the importance of climate change adaptation measures to reduce adverse health effects in Perth.

Ambulance dispatches and heatwaves in Tasmania, Australia: A case-crossover analysis

Sharon L. Campbell et al.

Summary: This study found that heatwave events in Tasmania were associated with increased demands on ambulance services, particularly for the elderly (over 65 years old), young children (5 and under), and regions with higher socio-economic disadvantage.

Current and projected regional economic impacts of heatwaves in Europe

David Garcia-Leon et al.

Summary: Research shows that Europe is facing significant economic losses due to reduced labor productivity caused by heatwaves. Future projections suggest that if no action is taken, these impacts could increase by almost five times by 2060.

HEAT WAVES, CLIMATE CHANGE, AND ECONOMIC OUTPUT

Steve Miller et al.

Summary: Climate change may affect economies through prolonged extreme events like heat waves, and traditional empirical methods may not capture the full impact of heat waves on economies. By studying agricultural losses, it is found that the impact of heat waves may be much larger than previously predicted.
