Heat-health action plans move higher on the EU public health and climate resilience agenda. The movement urges the development of Heat-Health Action Plans that clearly assign responsibilities and set measurable standards to safeguard populations during extreme heat events. These plans would prioritize vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children, and pregnant women, while also addressing the needs of individuals with chronic conditions and those facing social or economic hardships. Health experts argue that strategic coordination can enable authorities to issue alerts, enhance medical readiness, and minimize exposure risks before and during heatwaves.
