Affected by climate change and other factors, extreme heat in many European countries has become more common and lasts longer. Italian media reported on the 18th that a research report released by the Italian Federation of Commercial, Tourism and Service Enterprises on the same day showed that extreme high temperatures are occurring more and more frequently, putting pressure on business operations and people's daily lives. According to the report, if Italy experiences extreme heat for 30 to 60 days every year, enterprises will face multiple pressures such as rising energy costs, falling labor productivity, being forced to increase adaptive investment, and reduced turnover. This would cost the country between 6 billion and 12 billion euros per year in economic losses, or about 0.2 to 0.4 per cent of its GDP. Furthermore, high temperatures will also change residents' consumption and travel habits, causing a further impact on industries that are more affected, such as commerce and tourism.
