HIGHLIGHTS
SUMMARY
The authors combine health impact and economic assessment methods to comprehensively evaluate the entire heatwave-related PTB burden in dimensions of health, human capital and economic costs. In simulated scenarios, 25.8% (95%CI 17.1%-34.5%) of heatwave-related PTBs per year on average can be attributed to anthropogenic climate change, which further result in substantial human capital losses, estimated at over $1 billion costs. Compared to the relative or attributable risks of PTB from heat stress, heatwave-attributable cases of PTB are more visual for the public and politicians to understand . . .
