Abstract

The risks to health of increases above 1.5°C are now well established . Indeed, no ‎temperature rise is “safe." In the past 20 years, heat related mortality among people aged over ‎‎65 has increased by more than 50%. Higher temperatures have brought increased dehydration ‎and renal function loss, dermatological malignancies, tropical infections, adverse mental health ‎outcomes, pregnancy complications, allergies, and cardiovascular and pulmonary morbidity and ‎mortality. Harms disproportionately affect the most vulnerable, including among children, ‎older populations, ethnic minorities, poorer communities, and those with underlying health ‎problems .
