Climate Change Linked to 1,300 Deaths in Europe’s Record-Breaking Heatwave

A new scientific assessment has linked an estimated 1,300 deaths during Europe's record-breaking heatwave to human-induced climate change. Researchers warn that rising global temperatures are making extreme heat more frequent and deadly, with implications extending beyond Europe to vulnerable regions such as Africa, where communities face even greater risks from rising temperatures.

World Edges Closer to 1.5°C Warming Threshold for Third Consecutive Year

The world is nearing the 1.5°C climate threshold, with WMO data confirming that 2025 averaged 1.48°C above pre-industrial levels, marking three consecutive years of record heat. Climate extremes are no longer rare, but a new global reality. For Kenya, this warming trajectory threatens food security, water resources, and public health, underscoring the urgency of climate-resilient action.
