Paragraph: 17
Extreme heat has serious, widespread impacts on UK health, wellbeing, and economic productivity.
Conclusion
We have received compelling evidence that heat is having serious and widespread impacts on health, wellbeing and economic productivity. This is already costing the UK thousands of lives and billions of pounds annually, a situation which is set to get worse without concerted action. The social and economic case for accelerating heat adaptation measures in the UK is clear-cut.
