A report from the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) warns that Ireland could see 1,400 excess deaths per year by 2100 if worst climate projections come true. Warmer weather is leading to an increase in hospital emergency admissions for circulatory, respiratory, and infectious diseases. The report suggests that advance notice of very warm days can help people adjust to the weather safely. Under projected temperature increases, emergency admissions for temperature-related conditions are expected to rise by 12.2 percent during hotter weather, leading to 483 excess deaths per year by 2100. The report emphasizes the need for policymakers to implement adaptive measures to accommodate higher hospital demand.
