Story summary

A study by World Weather Attribution and Climate Central finds small, ocean-dependent nations face the largest rise in dangerous heat days.
These nations contribute about 1% of global heat-trapping gases and could gain 57 extra hot days per year by 2100 if commitments hold.
Without these efforts, the world would face 114 additional hot days annually.
The report underscores unequal impacts and notes Paris Climate Agreement gains have mitigated outcomes.
