Our estimates show that, globally, 7.3 billion people face air pollution levels that are considered unsafe by the WHO—that is, they are exposed to annual average PM2.5 concentrations over 5 μg/m3, which increases mortality rates by 4 percent compared to safe areas. Of these, 6.2 billion...
Unemployment rates in low-income countries have remained persistently high, with the employment gap rate increasing from 20 percent in 2018 to 21 percent in 2023. These trends have exacerbated existing income and wealth inequalities globally, the report said. In 2022, the poorest half of the globa...
The results are relatively modest at the $2.15 line because the emissions of low-income countries are small relative to wealthier countries—even if they reach the income level necessary to meet the 3% target poverty rate with historical energy and carbon intensities (Fig.2b). By contrast, at ...
While I think the interview went well (you can listen to ithere), I didn’t have ample time to flesh out my arguments; I’ve decided to put them down in more detail here. Probably the most important aspect that I didn’t even get a chance to cover is that globally, oureconomic sys...

Warmer temperatures are also associated with increasing biting rates, promoting the vectorial capacities of arthropod vectors [18, 19], and speeding up the development of pathogens within vectors, reducing the extrinsic incubation period and thus the replication rate (R0) of infection in human ...
