a Geographical distribution of the prevented climate-related health impacts, expressed in Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) per year. b Prevented climate-related health impacts relative to the size of the regional population (DALYs per million people per year) and distribution of the avoided health impacts by cause (DALYs per year). The distribution of the averted climate-related health impacts by region and cause remains constant across the studied scenarios despite the change in the impact magnitude.
