Failure to curb the warming effects of climate change has caused the growth of heatrelated deaths to grow by 63 % since the 1990s according to The Lancet, a publication in RELX’ s Elsevier business. Labour capacity reduction due to heat exposure led to more than US $ 1tn in global potential income losses.
The medical journal’ s 2025 Report of the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change, produced in collaboration with the World Health Organization, details the impacts of climate change and health.
The report“ paints a stark picture”, says Adam Elman, Director of Sustainability EMEA at Google.
“ Despite the clear and escalating crisis, we see worrying backsliding.
“ However, the report highlights that progress is possible and yields immediate benefits!”
