Climate Change Fuels Intensifying Heat Waves: A Growing Threat
Received Date: Nov 02, 2025 / Published Date: Nov 29, 2025
Abstract
Heat waves are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change, posing significant risks to human health, ecosystems,
and infrastructure. Research attributes these events to greenhouse gas emissions, with impacts on agriculture and food security.
Public health concerns focus on mortality and morbidity in urban areas affected by the urban heat island effect. Effective early
warning systems, urban mitigation strategies, and equitable adaptation for vulnerable communities are vital. Economic costs are
substantial, and potential links to infectious diseases are being investigated. Climate policies play a role in mitigating future heat
wave extremes.
