TABLE 2.

Current and projected net changes for population at risk from year‐round transmission risk (12 months). All values are given in millions; future projections are averaged across general circulation models, broken down by year (2050) and representative concentration pathway (RCP: 4.5, 8.5), and are given as net change from current population at risk. Totals are given globally, or across all regions except for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC)
