Fig. 4: Future independent contributions of temperature and population changes to heat-related deaths.
From: Avoidable heat-related mortality in China during the 21st century
a–d Respectively denotes the results under SSP1–2.6, SSP2–4.5, SSP3–7.0, and SSP5–8.5. Line graphs display contributions of the population (blue) and temperature (red) changes for each region during 2021–2100 at a 20-year interval. Maps highlighting subregions with thick black lines display the major contributions to the heat-related deaths across China averaged over 2021–2100, where red (blue) shaded areas represent temperature (population) as the dominant, with darker colors making greater contributions. Pie charts give the averaged 2021–2100 contributions of the population (blue) and temperature (red) changes to heat-related deaths overall for China.
