This repository contains the data and results from the paper Estimating future heat-related and cold-related mortality under climate change, demographic and adaptation scenarios in 854 European cities published in Nature Medicine (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-024-03452-2). It provides projections of excess death rates and burden for the period 2015-2099 for five age groups in 854 cities across 30 countries, under three Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios, and four adaptation scenarios. The results include point estimates for five-year periods and four global warming levels, along with 95% empirical confidence intervals. The fully reproducible analysis code using the data and producing the results included in this repository is provided in GitHub. The results can be visualised and explored in a dedicated Shiny app. Content This repository contains three zip files, each with an internal codebook: data.zip: contains the input data necessary to run the analysis. It includes historical and projected daily temperature at the city level, age-group specific projections of population and survival rates at the country level, and exposure-response functions extracted from another Zenodo repository (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10288665). This file also include a script showing how each dataset was extracted for the purpose of this projection study. results_csv.zip: contains the full results from the health impact projections. It includes one file for each combination of geographical level (city, country, region or European wide) and scale of reporting (five year periods or global warming levels). results_parquet.zip: contains the same information as the results_csv.zip but in a parquet format. This allows for more efficient storage and data reading. It is recommended to only download results_csv.zip for a quick exploration of the results, or only results_parquet.zip when the results are to be loaded into a software for deeper analysis.
