Climate change could cause 430,000 more deaths annually by 2050

Climate change could contribute to about 430,000 additional deaths annually by 250 compared with historical temperature conditions, with access to electricity, particularly for cooling, likely to play a critical role in determining how many lives can be saved, according to research by the Climate Impact Lab.

“Climate change will increase the importance of energy as a tool for adaptation…How many of those lives  can be saved largely depends on access to energy, particularly the electricity needed for cooling,” said the report…
