6/ Data behind the map is based on research published in @natclimate.nature.com, which found that tropical #deforestation has already exposed over 300 million people to increased heat and is associated with 28,000 annual heat-related deaths

Tropical deforestation is associated with considerable heat-related mortality - Nature Climate Change
The authors assess the impacts of tropical deforestation and its subsequent local warming on human heat-related mortality. They estimate that deforestation-related warming (+0.27 °C) is associated wit...

3/ Deforestation-induced local warming can affect:

🌡️ Human health & wellbeing

🌾 Food production

💧 Water security

🐄 Livestock health

👷 Labour productivity
Implications are especially important for vulnerable communities across the #tropics
