유럽은 폭염에 천 명 넘게 죽는데 한국은 왜 안 죽나 | 무더위쉼터·에너지바우처, 세계가 배우는 폭염 안전망 #경제

Facing the same heatwave, over a thousand people in Europe lost their lives in just one week, and that number continues to rise. In countries trapped in heat domes where the heat does not dissipate even at night, the heatwave has become a silent disaster. However, Korea manages to keep heat-related deaths at around thirty per year despite the same heat. What on earth made this difference between life and death? The answer was not luck, but the system. There are over 90,000 cooling shelters across the country, every neighborhood senior center receives separate funding for air conditioning, and the government even provides additional summer cooling subsidies for financially struggling households. Electricity rates are one-third of those in Germany, allowing people to turn on their air conditioners without worry. Now, foreign media and officials have begun to look closely at this very "country where people do not die." This video examines the tragedy of the European heatwave with a respectful perspective, while offering a balanced look at the nature of the cooling and welfare safety net that Korea has established across its entire cities, as well as the blind spots that remain within that safety net. You will come to realize just how special the coolness of your summer, which you took for granted, actually was. ※ This video is an informational content produced by cross-referencing publicly available press releases and agency data. #Heatwave #EuropeanHeatwave #HeatwaveDeaths #CoolingShelter #HeatDome #HeatwaveSafetyNet #ClimateChange #Korea
