Climate Change is Remapping Where Humans are Allowed to Live
Climate change is causing a remapping of habitable areas on Earth, with millions of people already stranded outside of the environmental conditions necessary for life. A study suggests that by the end of the century, between a third and a half of humanity, or 3 to 6 billion people, could be trapped in regions facing extreme heat, food scarcity, and higher death rates, unless emissions are significantly reduced or mass migration is accommodated. The research emphasizes the moral imperative for immediate action to prevent this scenario and highlights the disproportionate impact on poorer nations and small island states.
