In 2023, 3.8 billion people around the world suffered in extreme heat for at least a day, and over 47,000 people in Europe alone died from heat-related causes.
Heat stress already kills about 500,000 people around the world yearly—a number the World Health Organization expects will rise fivefold by 2050.
Air conditioning is no longer just a luxury, but an imperative for human health, as heat stress is the leading weather-related cause of death.
When the heat index exceeds 90°F, there is risk of heat stroke as blood moves from major organs to the skin to cool it.
