Over 80% of predicted heat-related deaths in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) by the end of the century could be prevented if global warming is limited to 2°C, according to a modelling study published in The Lancet Planetary Health.
Under high-emissions scenarios, approximately 123 people per 100,000 in MENA are predicted to die annually from heat-related causes – nearly 60 times greater than current figures.
