The world is experiencing a rise in temperature. More potent heatwaves are going to be common as years pass by. The environmental concerns related to flooding and damage to ecosystems tends to be the focus. What is forgotten is the impact on public health. People are going to be at risk for heat exhaustion and poor air quality. It becomes lethal for the elderly and those with respiratory diseases. The people who are in good health could see it decline with exposure to high amounts of particulate matter. Temperatures are going to continue to increase according to data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service. Norway, Sweden, and Japan have seen a drastic change in temperature. There is no single factor that explains the global heatwave. Many countries have experienced heatwaves. The difference in 2023 is that they are occurring simultaneously. Other countries are seeing a reverse. Span, Portugal, Northern Russia, Southern Chile and Argentina are seeing colder temperatures. It remains a mystery if the heatwaves will follow a consistent pattern or fluctuate at random. Numerous countries must make adjustments for global heatwaves. Cooling centers and access to clean drinking water should be a priority. Seeing as it effects most nations across Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe, and North America cooperation is required. Environmental protection should be taken seriously, rather than a cause of just a few organizations. Examining the risks and dangers in the context of public health would motivate leaders to act. Global heatwaves eventually could become bigger threats if no policy is developed to combat them.
