Overview

Analysis shows climate change reduces total fertility rates in Italy, indicating vulnerability in low-fertility contexts due to rising temperatures.

Key Points

  • Reduction in total fertility rates follows temperature exposure, particularly after extremely hot days.
  • Study identified the impact of temperature with E-OBS meteorological data over 107 provinces from 2003 to 2022.
  • Examined effects across climate zones and economic development levels, revealing significant regional disparities.
  • Hot climate zones facing economic growth were notably more affected by rising temperatures.
