HealthPhoto: Hindustan TimesLimiting Warming to 1.8°C Could Save 1.89 Billion Healthy Life Years
A Lancet Commission analysis reveals that restricting global warming to 1.8°C instead of 4.4°C could prevent the loss of 1.89 billion years of healthy life due to extreme heat and air pollution. The report, launched at the 2026 World Health Summit in Berlin, identifies 17 major health threats from 2025 to 2100 that can be mitigated by policy, funding, and innovation. Without emission cuts, health losses will worsen beyond 2100, increasing risks like migration.
