The German government announced Sunday that it is launching a campaign against deaths from heat waves that are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change.
Health Minister Karl Lauterbach said Germany is learning lessons from France, which put in place numerous measures following a devastating heat wave in 2003 that caused about 15,000 deaths in the country.
He said authorities are also examining how best to issue warnings about impending heat waves.
