Study Quantifies Global Mortality Linked to Non‑Optimal Temperatures (2000‑2019)

The paper examines mortality associated with ambient temperatures that deviate from optimal ranges. It covers the twenty‑year period from 2000 through 2019. Researchers applied a three‑stage modelling framework to assess impacts. The analysis reports on global, regional, and national death burdens. Results highlight how both heat and cold contribute to excess mortality. The study provides a baseline for evaluating climate‑related health risks. Findings can inform public‑health planning and climate‑adaptation policies. Future work may track how mortality patterns evolve as temperatures change.
