@rupertstuartsmith.bsky.social  highlights how this study may uniquely quantify the daily impact of climate change on heat-related mortality over the past 50 years. Numbers of heat-related deaths are still growing despite improved health medical facilities.

1,700 peopled died from heat-related deaths caused by climate change in Zürich ➡️ 1969-2018 according to #OxfordSmithSchool study. f.mtr.cool/gxdxhcqcdt @thomwetzer.bsky.social @rupertstuartsmith.bsky.social

It was a privilege to host a dialogue at the Africa Climate Summit last week with @fossiltreaty.bsky.social, where ONZ Fellow Dr Jessica Omukuti was one of the speakers. Check out the highlights below. @smithschool.ox.ac.uk @oxford-anthro.bsky.social

'Refining methods for attributing health impacts to climate change: a heat-mortality case study in Zürich' shows that climate change is not only increasing deaths during extreme heatwaves, but also on milder days when temperatures exceed local thresholds for human health.'

Tying source attribution to event effect attribution like @rupertstuartsmith.bsky.social's @smithschool.ox.ac.uk study of heat mortality in Zurich over 50 years is the Alpha and Omega of suing these bastards. news.wickedproblems.uk/p/exclusive-...

NEW: Climate change was responsible for 1,700 heat-related deaths in the Swiss canton of Zurich between 1969 and 2018, according to @smithschool.ox.ac.uk. 🇨🇭 These deaths represent nearly one-third of all heat-related mortality in the region during that period. #OxfordClimate

Study finds 1,700 climate change related deaths Zürich Deaths occurred during heatwaves but also in milder weather Adaptation to heat has saved at least 700 lives in the region, but deaths will keep increasing as temperatures rise @springernature.com link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Decarbonising the agricultural sector is at the heart of the climate challenge. In the UK, as in much of the world, it is responsible for 11% of the total Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. www.smithschool.ox.ac.uk/news/we-mapp...

As the temperatures rise in the UK today, we're reminded of Radhika Khosla's expert comment into the impact of #ExtremeHeat, focusing on urban areas, and the importance of cooling systems. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Dr Harriet Bartlett, research fellow at the University of Oxford, has found it is possible to deliver both good welfare and a low environmental impact in any type of pig production system and, while trade-offs do exist, they are not inevitable." www.pig-world.co.uk/features/pig...

"If the UK is serious about climate leadership, the question may not only be whether to ban fossil fuel advertising, but rather how quickly we can expand this logic across other sectors still propping up carbon-intensive industries." Alexis McGivern www.ox.ac.uk/news/2025-07...

Great to see CO2RE & @smithschool.ox.ac.uk researcher Dr Siyu Feng quoted in this piece on a new report she co-authored w/colleagues at @granthamlse.bsky.social, @cep-lse.bsky.social, @poid-lse.bsky.social, & the Productive & Inclusive Net Zero programme at LSE.

Why does a #heatwave in the UK feels harder to cope with? “When you have air around the body that has high levels of water, it becomes much harder for the body to cool itself down,” said Dr Radhika Khosla @theipaper.com ‬

Students who enrol on our MSc are automatically considered for scholarships. Read about the incredible journeys of two of our scholars, and what they went on to achieve:

“Air conditioners are not the most climate friendly solutions because they're extremely energy intensive (...), and because they're so energy guzzling, they place quite a large strain on the [fossil fuel] electricity grid,” 

“(...) There is no transformative leader. There is only a transformative team to drive the change.” @leojohnson1.bsky.social, Banbury Guardian
