Inference - Developing countries possess abundant resources, efficient governance, and strong cultural values that enable the effective implementation of adaptation measures.

Adaptation measures, such as cooling centers, home-cooling technology, urban planning, and designs focused on reducing heat, can lower a population’s heat exposure impact. However, a country’s ability to implement adaptation measures generally depends on its financial resources, governance, culture, and knowledge. Poverty affects each. Many developing countries struggle to provide basic services let alone protection from escalating disasters in a warmer future.

A key factor in the amount of harm heat waves cause is people’s capacity to adapt to measures like cooling technology and the power to run it. To assess how heat wave exposure is changing, we analyzed heat waves around the world over the past 40 years and then used climate models to project ahead. Importantly, we also incorporated estimates of countries’ ability to adapt to rising temperatures and lower their heat exposure risk.

This heat wave risk in poor countries has often been overlooked by the developed world, in part because heat deaths aren’t consistently tracked in many countries. By the 2030s, we project that the lowest-income quarter of the world’s population will face 12.3 billion person-days of heat wave exposure, compared with 15.3 billion for the rest of the world combined.

The world’s wealthiest nations, which have produced the lion’s share of greenhouse gases driving climate change, promised over a decade ago to direct US$100 billion annually by 2020 to help the poor countries adapt to climate change and mitigate its effects. Some of that money is flowing, but wealthy countries have been slow to meet the goal. Studies meanwhile have estimated that economic loss from future climate damage in developing countries will reach between $290 billion and $580 billion a year by 2030 and continue to escalate.
