1 Introduction The use of climate projections for impact assessment often exploits numerous climate and Earth system models (ESMs). The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (Veronika Eyring et al., 2016) (CMIP) provides underpinning simulations to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) analysis of climate projections (Lee et al., 2021), changes in climate impact drivers (Ranasinghe et al., 2021), and assessment of impacts and vulnerability (IPCC, 2022).

Correction to: Nature Climate Change https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-024-02149-1, published online 21 October 2024. In the version of the article initially published, in the first paragraph, the units were incorrect in the sentence “Fire smoke includes fine particulate matter with a diameter of ≤2.5 μg m–3 (PM2.5)”. This sentence has now been amended to “Fire smoke includes fine particulate matter with a diameter of ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5)” in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.

AbstractClimate change intensifies fire smoke, emitting hazardous air pollutants that impact human health. However, the global influence of climate change on fire-induced health impacts remains unquantified. Here we used three well-tested fire–vegetation models in combination with a chemical transport model and health risk assessment framework to attribute global human mortality from fire fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions to climate change.
