5/ But not all #climate actions are risk-free.
⚠️ Trade-offs exist e.g. bioenergy can displace pastoral land use by vulnerable communities, CCS may harm local air & water quality.
Equity matters. Context matters.

4/ Examples of win–win interventions:
✅ Active & electric transport
✅ Watershed ecosystem adaptation
✅ Improving agricultural efficiency
These offer benefits across health, equity, ecosystems, and economy.

4/ 🌳 Protecting tropical forests could save lives by maintaining cooler local temperatures and reducing the risk of deadly heat exposure.
Our findings highlight the urgent need for tropical forest #conservation and climate-health #adaptation, especially for vulnerable communities.

🌍 Our new study in @natclimate.nature.com shows tropical #deforestation may cause ~28,000 heat-related deaths/year.
🌳🌡️💻🛰️ Using satellite data & mortality models we quantified the impact of deforestation-driven local warming on human health in the tropics.
