Environ 300 000 décès chez les plus de 65 ans sont imputables aux vagues de chaleur dans le monde. Un doublement depuis l'an 2000. 
L'augmentation des températures a engendré la perte d'environ 100 milliards d'heures de travail en plus par rapport à l'an 2000 à cause des chaleurs trop fortes.
Cela concerne en particulier l'Inde ou, si on regarde le nombre d'heures perdues par habitant, le Cambodge.

As the dust settles for the #ClimateAmbitionSummit, here is my deeper dive on Xi’s announcement (thread)
1) China has now increased all 4 of its NDC headline targets. The peaking & carbon intensity targets are arguable the most important and have only received modest enhancement. The non FF target is politically easier, it sends a positive market signal, but can/should be higher.
2) Taken together, these enhancements should ensure peak emission between 2026&2030. This would require extremely steep carbon reduction post 2030 to deliver 2060 carbon neutrality. It also risks letting polluting industries grow further over the next 5 years.
Prime Minister @ImranKhanPTI has just announced a decision that Pakistan will have no more power generation based on coal.
This is a substantial new commitment made to #ClimateAmbitionSummit and should be warmly applauded.

PM Khan stated: "At the same time we have decided we will not have any more power based on coal. We have already scrapped 2 coal power projects, which were supposed to produce 2600MW of energy, and replaced it by hydroelectricity."
This is a big deal!

Pakistan is currently #11 in the new coal risk list. This new commitment will mean that ~6GW of projects should not move forward into construction, thereby avoiding a doubling of coal capacity in Pakistan.

Watching the #climateambitionsummit2020. Xi Jinping to speak soon. Will he announce additional measures and enhance China's NDC?
Macron: President Xi will make an important announcement to add credibility to the 2060 carbon neutrality commitment. #ClimateAmbitionSummit #ParisAgreement #ClimateAction
Major announcement coming from Xi very soon. Will the need to improve China's image in the world propel a big decision from him?
"Achieving carbon neutrality requires eliminating most fossil fuel use in power generation, heating, industry & transport...IF it is made the guiding vision for invstmt, innovation & policymaking in China"-@laurimyllyvirta
