Secretary General Antonio Guterres told the attendees the heat is a warning sign.
Heat like this isn't just an inconvenience.
It's a disaster, like a hurricane.
Past heat waves in Europe have caused thousands of deaths.
Global health officials say the heat wave in 2003 killed more than 70,000 people.
This heat wave has already claimed lives, like the 2-year-old and 4-year-old that died in their overheated car in France this week.

Trump says that projects in Alaska and West Virginia will be America's first new coal plants built since 2013.
And some of the $700 million would go to new coal export infrastructure.
In his remarks from the Oval Office, Trump called coal a, quote, clean energy source, but that isn't accurate.
Burning coal releases pollutants that cause smog and respiratory ailments.
Coal production also releases planet-heating carbon dioxide and methane.
Trump also repeatedly said that coal energy is affordable.
But now, according to financial services firm Lazard, large-scale solar and wind projects are cheaper than energy from coal.
