The report includes a number of suggestions the world could take to avoid some of these worst-case health scenarios. Those include rolling out more effective warning systems for extreme heat and weather events, and improving building designs and urban planning strategies to better prepare residents for heatwaves.
Governments should also provide mental health services that take climate-related stress and trauma into account, and offer climate-related training to mental health professionals, the report suggests.
