Northern #Africa, the Middle East & Southwest #Asia are projected to see the greatest increases in deaths from rising temperatures.
Many countries do not have the resources to adapt to #ClimateChange. Targeted #adaptation investments can save lives.

Climate change is projected to increase premature deaths due to heatwaves and more than 90 per cent of them are slated to occur in low- and middle-income countries, according to a new report from the Climate Impact Lab

As global temperatures continue to rise due to the burning of fossil fuels, Pakistan is projected to see a net increase in mortality of 51 deaths per 100,000 people by 2050.

According to a new report, 90% of deaths caused by rising temperatures are projected to occur in low- and middle-income countries https://t.co/qwFVdYDD5N
Hotter world, hungrier futures: India among most vulnerable large economies to food insecurity as global temperatures rise
A new study warns rising heat could deepen food insecurity, with falling scores, fragile food systems and widening inequality putting millions at risk.

As temperatures rise around the world, so will deaths related to heat. How individual countries fare will depend as much on wealth as on climate https://t.co/944vMlCLzj
90% of deaths caused by ⬆️ temps are projected to occur in low-and middle-income countries, largely because they don’t have the resources to adapt.
Findings underscore that targeted #adaptation investments can save lives.
#ClimateAdaptation roadmap: https://t.co/ObnUvdd7HP
#ClimateChange is projected to cause 10x more deaths in low-and middle-income countries than in rich ones, says our new report.🌍
By pinpointing risks where adaptation investments would be most beneficial, we provide a #ClimateAdaptation roadmap.

Spotlighting our new Executive Director Genevieve Maricle 🎊
With nearly two decades of climate & development experience, she’s leading the Lab’s mission to deliver data-driven #adaptation strategies where they’re needed most.
https://t.co/a9jOUHUipk
We are pleased to announce that the Climate Impact Lab is entering a new chapter: launching an expanded mission to identify where #ClimateAdaptation is most needed & what investments will deliver the greatest benefits + welcoming Genevieve Maricle as Executive Director. 🧵 1/6
Genevieve is well positioned for the role, joining our Lab after nearly two decades working at the nexus of climate and development policy at the White House, @USAID, U.S. Mission to the United Nations, and @World_Wildlife. 5/6
#ClimateChange is likely to keep more labour in agriculture in the very regions where productivity suffers most, exacerbating the ‘food problem’ just as economies would benefit most from diversifying.
