Deaths from heat in Europe could triple by the end of the century, says a recent study.

Cold kills more people in Europe than heat, and some say climate change will reduce those deaths.

But a study published in the journal "Lancet Public Health" has found that the number of loss of life can increase especially in elderly people and more vulnerable to high temperatures.

If the world reaches catastrophic temperature increases of 3 or 4 degrees Celsius, researchers have said that the increase in the number of lives lost from the heat will exceed that from the cold.

Researchers have emphasized that the results suggest that climate change may present "unprecedented challenges" to public health systems, especially during heat waves./ CNA
