How climate change killed tens of thousands in Europe - and what we need to do to prepare: WHO chief Oliver Schmoll

Welcome to the Tipping Point podcast, where Shauna Corr and Neil Leslie discuss all things climate.

Humanity is now at a crossroads with two possible futures in front of us.

One where we make the changes needed in the next decade and thrive - and a rather more alarming one where we don’t.

This week, we speak to Oliver Schmoll, manager with the climate change team at the World Health Organisation's European Centre for Environment and Human Health (ECEHH).

Oliver discusses how the summer of 2022 caused tens of thousands of deaths from the heatwaves that swept Europe. We discuss how our health services need to prepare for the future and how more extreme heat will affect every aspect of our lives.
