Description
This factsheet highlights how extreme climate events will continue to increase in terms of frequency, intensity, duration, and geographic reach around the world in the coming decades under current climate policy pledges. Young generations will experience more severe events during their lifetime in comparison to their parents and grandparents. The well-being and safety of young generations calls for serious emission reductions to safeguard their future.
The ENBEL research factsheet series provides accessible summaries of research findings from the projects in the ENBEL network on a wide range of climate change and health topics. The factsheets can be consulted at ENBEL's website.

The ENBEL project supports EU policy making by bringing together leaders in climate change and health research through a network of major international health and climate research projects under the Belmont Forum’s Collaborative Research Action (CRA), Societal Challenge 1 and 5 of EU’s Horizon 2020, and other national and international funding schemes. This network develops evidence syntheses and co-produces with stakeholders a series of tailor-made knowledge products. The key thematic focus is on environmental and occupational heat, air pollution (including from wildfires) and climate-sensitive infectious diseases, with specific attention given to high-risk groups and populations.
