Inequality is literally killing 100,000 Europeans a year 📉

It’s not just the climate crisis; it’s the inequality crisis. And new research shows they are a deadly package deal.

A major study just found that economic hardship causes an extra 100,000 deaths annually across Europe from heat and cold.

Here’s the brutal reality:
❄️ Winter: If you’re poor, you can’t afford to heat your home.
☀️ Summer: If you’re poor, you likely live in a "heat island" with no AC or green space.

The most jaw-dropping stat? Researchers calculated that if Europe simply matched the equality levels of Slovenia (the most equal region), 109,000 lives could be saved every single year.

As one scientist put it, targeting inequality is a "two for one" deal—you hit social justice and climate resilience at the same time.

With a brutal summer predicted, this isn't just policy. It's life or death.
