Recent heat waves could cut global growth by almost 0.6 percentage points in 2023 with several European countries particularly impacted, according to an estimate by Allianz Trade.

"In recent months, the United States, Europe, China and other countries in Asia have experienced record-breaking temperature rises [...] Climate change will increase the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events, creating a 'new normal' of heat waves, droughts and wildfires.

The European Copernicus service confirmed on Tuesday that July 2023 was the hottest month ever observed on Earth since records began.
