Impact of rising temperatures on physical inactivity per additional month above 27.8°Cfactual
For every additional month with average temperatures above 27.8°C, physical inactivity will decrease by 1.4% globally.
According to Metro - MainEvery additional month until 2050 with an average temperature over 27.8 degrees will increase physical inactivity by 1.5 percentage points globally.
