More than 61,000 people died due to the heat during Europe's record-breaking summer last year, a study said on Monday which called for more to be done to protect against even deadlier heatwaves expected in the coming years.
Without an effective response, the fastest-warming continent could face an average of more than 94,000 deaths linked to the heat by 2040, European researchers warned in the study in the journal Nature Medicine.
