Climate Crisis Is on Track to Push One-Third of Humanity Out of Its Most Livable Environment

Climate change is remapping where humans can exist on the planet. As optimum conditions shift away from the equator and toward the poles, more than 600 million people have already been stranded outside of a crucial environmental niche that scientists say best supports life.

 

By late this century, according to a study published last month in the journal Nature Sustainability, 3 to 6 billion people, or between a third and a half of humanity, could be trapped outside of that zone, facing extreme heat, food scarcity and higher death rates, unless emissions are sharply curtailed or mass migration is accommodated.

 

The research, which adds novel detail about who will be most affected and where, suggests that climate-driven migration could easily eclipse even the largest estimates as enormous segments of the earth’s population seek safe havens.

Rising temperatures linked to kidney disease

• As the world's climate changes, increasing temperatures will have significant implications on our physical health.
• Scientists from Brazil and Australia have found evidence of a link between rising temperatures and renal diseases.
• Heat stress is likely to be responsible for ongoing, costly and damaging health issues unless work is done to mitigate the effects of climate change.
