<div id="h4-31-siblings" class="h4-siblings"></div>

Heat-related human mortality is projected to increase in North America as a result of climate change and ageing populations, poverty, chronic diseases and inadequate public health systems ( ''very high confidence'' ) ( [[#14.5.6.1|Section 14.5.6.1]] ). Gradual changes to temperature and precipitation are impacting urban ecosystems and creating ecosystem regime changes resulting in the poleward expansion among insects that bring risks related to vector-borne diseases such as West Nile virus and Lyme disease ( ''high confidence'' ) ( [[#14.5.6|Section 14.5.6]] ). Climate change is expected to lead to wide-ranging mental health challenges related to an increase in the psychological burdens of climate change ( ''high confidence'' ), particularly for individuals with existing mental health conditions, who live in severely impacted areas or who are reliant on climate for livelihoods and cultural well-being (e.g., Indigenous Peoples and farmers) ( [[#14.5.6.8|Section 14.5.6.8]] ).
