  5. United Nations Climate Action – On climate and health
Every year, environmental factors take the lives of around 13 million people. Meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement could save about a million lives a year worldwide by 2050 through reductions in air pollution alone. Avoiding the worst climate impacts could help prevent 250,000 additional climate-related deaths per year from 2030 to 2050.
