As pollen season worsens, allergies compound with other climate health hazards.

Climate breakdown has extended the pollen season in the UK and mainland Europe by one to two weeks since the 1990s, with seasonal severity of birch and alder increasing by 15-20% in southern UK, northern France, Germany and eastern Europe, according to the Lancet Countdown report. The study by 65 researchers from 46 institutions found heat deaths rose by 52 per million people while fossil fuel subsidies reached €444bn in 2023, though deaths from transport pollution fell 58%.
