K. Chen, E. D. Schrijver, et al.

This study reveals alarming links between population aging and global warming's impact on temperature-related mortality. Researchers found that as global temperatures rise, so do heat-related deaths, significantly influenced by aging demographics. Conducted by a team of experts including Kai Chen and Evan de Schrijver, this research underscores the urgent need to address the dual crises of climate change and population health.
