Show abstract

Over the last decade, health impact attribution studies have shown that climate change is a present-day public health emergency, with substantial impacts felt through death, disability, and illness, equivalent to financial losses on the order of US$ trillions. However, these studies have so far been biased towards the direct effects of heat and extreme weather in high-income countries, and so capture a small fraction of the total global burden of climate change. Expanding the use of attribution science in public health could help put pressure on policymakers to take action for human health.
