El Niño Projected to Cause 1,700 Heat Deaths in Ecuador by Feb 2027
A Climate Impact Lab study projects 451,000 additional heat-related deaths globally from June 2026 to February 2027, with 1,700 in Ecuador, driven by El Niño. The projection is model-based and uncertain, but highlights a significant climate-health risk. This matters for public health preparedness and potential economic impacts in affected regions.
