• Influence of blocking on Northern European and Western Russian heatwaves in large climate model ensembles (2018, background): “Following the devastating excess mortality during the European heatwave in 2003 (Robine et al 2008), several countries introduced public health plans in an effort to reduce adverse health effects of heatwaves (Vicedo-Cabrera et al 2016).”
• Future heat-waves, droughts and floods in 571 European cities (2018, background): “…heat extremes worldwide (Hansen et al 2012, Coumou et al 2013), like the western European heat-wave during the summer of 2003 (with a death toll above 70,000 (Robine et al 2008)) and eastern European/Russian heat-wave of 2010 (estimated death toll around 55,000 (Barriopedro et al 2011)).”
• The impact of heat waves on mortality in 9 European cities: results from the EuroHEAT project (2010, background): “During summer 2003, Europe experienced one of the worst heat wave events in recent history [8], with an estimated excess mortality varying between 25.000 and 70.000 deaths in Western Europe [9, 10 ].”
• The effects of summer heat on academic achievement: A cohort analysis (2017, background): “More than 70,000 people died in Europe during the summer of 2003 (e.g., Robine et al., 2008).”
• The German drought monitor (2015, background): “On the European level, the death toll was estimated to exceed 70 000 (Robine et al 2008), and the agro-economical impact was estimated to be 15 billion EUR (COPA-COGECA 2003).”
• Disproportionately higher exposure to urban heat in lower-income neighborhoods: a multi-city perspective (2019, background): “Case studies in China, Japan, the United States, and Europe suggest that socioeconomic vulnerability is associated with UHI exposure, extreme heat morbidity or mortality (Robine et al 2008, Wilhelmi and Hayden 2010, Gronlund 2014, Hsiang et al 2017, Nayak et al 2018).”
