Climate change is projected to increase the burden on Adelaide's already stretched Emergency Departments through an increase in heat-related emergencies, according to Australian researchers. Between 2014 and 2017 there were around 3600 people coming to emergency departments in Adelaide for heat related conditions at a cost of $A4.7 million. The researchers estimate that during a similar time period in the 2050s, the excess heat-related ED presentations would be 5200 under the best-case emissions scenario, and 9800 under the one which reflects where we are currently tracking.
