The list of countries where global warming will cause the most victims was revealed by a scientific study

However, it is the countries of the southern hemisphere that will suffer more from the effects of climate change, the authors showed by combining disease risks calculated by the World Health Organization (WHO) with population projections. by the United Nations. The study thus maps the estimated mortality in 2050 for four causes: cases of diarrheal diseases (children under 15) and malaria linked to climate change, heat stroke (over 65); and finally malnutrition (up to 5 years).
