Heatwave & public health: Europe’s late-June heatwave is pushing temperatures above 35°C, with Luxembourg among the affected countries and health services reorganising emergency coverage; officials say there’s no clear excess mortality yet, but hospitals are preparing for more heat-related cases. Heat in schools: In Luxembourg, classroom temperatures have triggered local decisions to make attendance optional and run alternative childcare, as unions demand urgent infrastructure upgrades. Heatwave pressure in Europe: France introduced public alcohol bans to ease hospital strain, while the wider region faces tropical nights that raise risks for older people, infants, and those with chronic illness. Venezuela earthquakes & care response: After twin quakes in Venezuela, the UN scaled up life-saving support (healthcare, shelter, food, water) and the EU activated the Civil Protection Mechanism; eight EU states including Luxembourg are sending rescue and support teams, with satellite mapping via Copernicus. Luxembourg health services update: ZithaKlinik temporarily closed its emergency department due to a technical issue, redirecting patients to CHL or Kirchberg. Broader wellbeing metrics: Experts urged Ghana to move beyond GDP to better track quality of life and inclusive, sustainable growth—an approach that resonates with health and wellness policy debates.
