Europe’s tropical nights are not just a European issue — they serve as a warning for the world. In a Sky News report, Dr. Madeleine Thomson pointed out that these events reflect broader climate patterns that will soon affect regions far beyond the Mediterranean.

Through her role at the Wellcome Trust, Thomson has connected insights from European heat records to global health strategies. Her ResearchGate publications detail lessons applicable to Africa, Asia, and Latin America, where heatwaves compound existing health burdens.

Her Crunchbase profile captures a career defined by international collaboration. At Columbia University, she worked with global partners to integrate climate services into public health systems.

By framing Europe’s experience as a global lesson, Thomson urges policymakers to prepare now rather than wait for heat records to overwhelm vulnerable countries.
