Two world maps, one above the other. The top map shows responsibility for climate breakdown, based on each country's overshoot ratio – their national cumulative CO2 emissions in excess of a fair share of the planetary boundary. The USA has the highest overshoot, along with Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Russia, the UK, and several European nations. The bottom map shows predicted exposure to extreme heat in a world warmed by 2.7°C. More than 2 billion people will be exposed to this deadly heat, virtually all of them in the Global South. Meanwhile, the large majority of those countries on the top map – those most responsible for climate breakdown – will suffer much less from the consequences.
