研究发现,与2022年热浪有关的英国死亡人数超过1,100人,凸显了气候变化的作用。 Over 1,100 UK deaths linked to 2022 heatwaves, study finds, highlighting climate change's role.

根据伦敦帝国学院的一项研究,英国2022年夏天至少有1,147人死于气候驱动的热浪。 At least 1,147 people in the UK died from climate-driven heatwaves during the summer of 2022, according to a study by Imperial College London. 联合王国创纪录地经历了最热的夏天,气候变化主要来自矿物燃料燃烧和毁林,气温平均上升2.2摄氏度,最高达3.6摄氏度。 The UK experienced its hottest summer on record, with climate change—mainly from fossil fuel burning and deforestation—increasing temperatures by an average of 2.2°C and up to 3.6°C. 在854个欧洲城市的24,400例与热有关的死亡中,68%的死亡是由热能造成的。 Heat was responsible for 68% of 24,400 heat-related deaths across 854 European cities. 大多数与热有关的死亡没有报告,官方数据可能需要几个月的时间, 使极端热成为一个“沉默杀手”。 Most heat-related deaths go unreported, and official data can take months, making extreme heat a "silent killer." 该研究敦促制定政策,建设抗灾能力,包括建设城市绿色空间、改善公共卫生系统和减少排放。 The study urges policies to build resilience, including urban green spaces, improved public health systems, and emission reductions.
