A new University of Oxford study finds that almost half the world’s population (3.79 billion) will be living with extreme heat by 2050 if the world reaches 2.0°C of global warming above pre-industrial levels – a scenario that climate scientists see as increasingly likely. Most of the impacts will be felt early on as the world passes the 1.5°C target set by the Paris Agreement, the authors warn.](https://www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/news/global-population-living-with-extreme-heat-to-double-by-2050-oxford-study)
