Emma Courts explains that extreme heat disrupts agricultural production, raising food prices and overall inflation. The 2022 European heatwave raised food prices by 0.7% and overall inflation by 0.3%. The ECB leads on studying 'climate inflation', but central banks globally are grappling with it. The net effect on prices is expected to be upward, though adaptation may blunt some impacts.

Climate inflation is expected to raise prices, and central banks are studying it. The 2022 heatwave raised overall inflation by 0.3%.
Joe Wertz describes the brutal European heatwave, its immediate effects on daily life, infrastructure, and energy systems. He highlights systemic failures across health, transit, and real estate, noting Europe is the fastest-warming continent. The heatwave has made rivers too warm for nuclear cooling and reduced wind speeds, threatening power supplies.

Heatwave reduces wind speeds and makes rivers too warm for nuclear cooling, threatening power supplies. This could increase demand for oil-based energy generation, pushing WTI prices up in the short term.
yields
Heatwave damages infrastructure and real estate, requiring significant investment. Combined with energy price pressures, this could lead to higher inflation expectations, pushing yields up over the medium term.
