Populations at risk in countries not considered high impact
Summary
The document discusses the distribution of heat vulnerability, noting that risks from lack of sustainable cooling exist in middle-income and developed countries, while some populations within high-impact countries remain less exposed to extreme heat.
Key insights
- Localized heat vulnerability and lower socioeconomic status can put populations at high risk due to a lack of sustainable cooling, even in countries that are not categorized as high impact, including developed and middle-income nations.
- Warming is not uniform across high-impact countries; approximately 42 million people in Argentina, Bolivia, China, and Iran live in regions where the threat of extreme heat is low, resulting in lower exposure to heat-related risks.
