Heat Is Claiming Mexico’s Young People

In Mexico, extreme heat disproportionately affects young people, with workers aged 18–34 and children under 5 facing the highest heat-related mortality rates. A study analyzing 73,000 heat-related deaths from 1998 to 2019 revealed that 75% occurred in those under 35. Factors include outdoor labor in rising temperatures and children’s vulnerability to overheating and related diseases. Wet-bulb temperatures—measuring heat and humidity—are nearing life-threatening levels, complicating cooling mechanisms. Efforts like Nuevo León’s hydration stations reduced heatstroke deaths, but more worker protections are essential. Without intervention, heat-related deaths among young people could rise by 32% by 2100, highlighting the urgent need for climate adaptation and equitable health strategies.
