Nuevo estudio de Oxford advierte que casi la mitad de la población mundial vivirá con calor extremo en 2050 si se supera el umbral de 2 °C. ¿Dónde se sentirá más el golpe?

Un escenario que los científicos del clima consideran cada vez más probable a medida que el mundo supera el umbral de 1,5 °C del Acuerdo de París.

📊 Data update: The Penn World Table is an extensive database that helps us understand long-run, global trends in economic growth, working hours, productivity, and living standards. We’ve updated 17 of our charts using the latest release.

To coincide with #COP30, we updated the dashboard for "Breaching 1.5C: Give Me the Odds". Latest odds show we’ll likely breach 1.5C soon, but decisive action can delay & shorten time above the target.
