A Monash University study found heatwaves caused over 153,000 additional deaths per season from 1990 to 2019, with Asia most affected. The research, spanning 43 countries, revealed a significant rise in heatwave-related deaths, particularly in Europe and high-income areas, emphasizing the need for localized climate adaptation strategies.

A Monash-led study – the first to globally map heatwave-related mortality over a three-decade period from 1990 to 2019 – has found that an additional 153,000+ deaths per warm season were associated with heatwaves, with nearly half of those deaths in Asia. The study – done in collaboration with Shandong University in China, the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in UK, and universities/research institutes from other countries- found that, from 1990–2019, heatwaves led to an increase in deaths of 236 deaths per ten million residents per warm season of a year.
“Our findings that heatwaves are associated with substantial mortality burden that varies spatiotemporally over the globe in the past 30 years suggest that there should be localized adaptation planning and risk management across all government levels.”
