Yearly heat-related deaths to see fivefold rise by mid-century, climate inaction threatening public health: Lancet report

The report, however, found few signs of the urgently needed progress, in a world still bound to fossil fuel ambitions and thus, called for "a people-centred transformation: putting health at the heart of climate action".
