This is a peer-reviewed scientific study published in PLOS ONE examining the relationship between ambient temperature fluctuations and mortality outcomes in Chengdu, a major Chinese city located in a basin geography. The research systematically quantifies both the mortality burden and economic costs associated with exposure to non-optimum temperatures during 2022, within the context of projected increases in extreme weather events due to global climate change.
