Heatwave deaths in Australia could exceed 1,500 annually by 2100 under current climate trends, up from about 250 yearly deaths between 2016 and 2019, according to Monash University research published in The Lancet Planetary Health. A worst-case scenario projects nearly 6,000 deaths per year. Northern regions and disadvantaged communities face the highest risk without adaptation measures.
