Reduced physical activity due to global heating will lead to rise in health issues, study says
By Chloé Farand
Rising temperatures are making physical activity undesirable and even dangerous in many
parts of the world, and as global heating worsens, it will further affect how much people are able
to move.
Researchers analysed data from 156 countries between 2000 and 2022 and modelled how
rising temperatures may affect physical activity globally by 2050.
They found that each additional month with an average temperature above 27.8 ºC would
increase physical inactivity by an average of 1.5 percentage points globally, with an even higher
increase of 1.85 points in low and middle-income countries.
Physical inactivity increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, certain
cancers and mental health disorders, all of which shorten life expectancy, said the study’s lead
author, Christian García-Witulski, a research fellow at the Lancet Countdown Latin America and
a professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina.
Reduced physical activity is already a big global health problem and is responsible for an
estimated 5% of all adult deaths, according to the study, which was published in the Lancet
Global Health journal. About a third of the world’s population fails to meet World Health
Organization guidelines for weekly exercise.
The study projects that the increase in physical inactivity could contribute to about half a
million additional premature deaths annually and .4bn – .68bn in productivity losses by
2050.
The biggest increases in inactivity are projected to be in hotter regions such as Central
America, the Caribbean, eastern sub-Saharan Africa, and equatorial southeast Asia, where
inactivity could rise by more than four percentage points a month.
“This is not just a climate story, it is also an inequality story. The places expected to face
the greatest increases in climate-driven inactivity are often the same places with fewer resources
to adapt,” said García-Witulski.
“In settings where people have less access to cooling, fewer safe indoor alternatives, and
less flexibility in their daily schedules, heat appears more likely to translate into reduced physical
activity.”
The model also predicted a bigger increase in inactivity among women, which could reflect
physiological differences as well as social factors, such as less time and access to cool places for
exercise, said García-Witulski.
The findings are modelled projections based on self-reported activity surveys and don’t
account for other climate impacts such as extreme rainfall, flooding and tropical cyclones.
The authors say the results show that physical activity should be treated as a
climate-sensitive public health issue, not just an individual lifestyle choice.
“Staying active in a warming world depends not only on personal motivation, but also on
urban design, infrastructure and access to reliable information. In practical terms,
climate-resilient physical activity policies are those that help people remain active safely even
under hotter conditions,” said García-Witulski.
That includes designing cooler cities by expanding the tree cover and shade networks in
streets and parks, providing affordable air-conditioned places to exercise, and giving clear advice
on how to stay safe in extreme heat, as well as ambitious emissions reductions.

Publisher cancels horror novel's release over AI claims
By Paul Glynn
- Shy Girl was originally self-published in February 2025, then got a full UK release in
- November.
- The US release of a horror novel has been cancelled by its publisher over concerns that AI
- was used to help write it.
- Shy Girl by US author Mia Ballard had been scheduled for publication in the US next month,
- but that will no longer go ahead, publisher Hachette said. The UK version, which was released in
- November, will also be discontinued.
- A spokesperson for Hachette told BBC News the company “remains committed to protecting
- original creative expression and storytelling”.
- Ballard, who sold almost 2,000 copies of the book in the UK, has denied using AI to write
- the book—telling the New York Times an acquaintance she hired to edit the original self-published
- version of the novel had used AI.
- “This controversy has changed my life in many ways and my mental health is at an all time
- low and my name is ruined for something I didn't even personally do,” she said, noting she was
- pursuing legal action.
- The New York Times, which first reported the story, said it “appears to be the first
- commercial novel from a major publishing house to be pulled over evidence of AI use”.
- The publisher said: “Hachette remains committed to protecting original creative expression
- and storytelling”.
- “Orbit (in the US) will not publish Shy Girl, and Wildfire (in the UK) have decided to no
- longer continue publishing their edition,” it added, referring to its imprints.
- Originally self-published last February, Shy Girl was described in its promotional material
- as a “buzzy¹ BookTok sensation” and “a harrowing tale of survival and revenge” and well as
- being “bloody and unapologetic”.
- However, one reviewer on the GoodReads website claimed the book appeared to be “written
- by ChatGPT”, while another noted the “bizarre formatting, typos and repetitive turns of phrase”.
- BBC News has approached Ballard for further comment.
¹Buzzy (adj.): Something that is buzzy is getting a lot of attention and excitement, especially online. People are talking about it a lot, and it is popular right now.
