A new study analyzes the impact of climate change on life expectancy, revealing that rising temperatures could lead to a significant increase in premature deaths in Europe. The researchers examined three climate scenarios and found that the scenario with the highest temperature increase (SSP3-7.0) predicted a 50% increase in temperature-related deaths from 2015 to 2099.
analyzed how rising temperatures could increase premature deaths, highlighting the impact of climate change on life expectancy. The researchers examined three climate scenarios, revealing outcomes that exacerbate existing extremes.
SSP2-4.5: This represents slow progress toward sustainability, with global warming likely to remain below 3 °C. As global warming increases, heat-related mortality increases and cold-related mortality decreases. Röösli explained that mitigation and adaptation measures can reduce both effects. From a global perspective, the increase in heat-related mortality is dominant, while northern European countries benefit from climate change in terms of temperature-related mortality. He emphasized that “climate change is therefore exacerbating existing global inequalities.
