More than 1 billion people are at risk from a lack of air conditioning and refrigeration to keep them cool and to preserve food and medicines as global warming brings more high temperatures, a study showed.

一项研究显示，由于气候变暖，高温天气更加普遍，超过10亿人正面临没有空调降暑，冰箱保存粮食与药物的风险。

More electricity demand for fridges, fans and other appliances will add to manmade climate change unless power generators¹ shift from fossil fuels to cleaner energies, according to the report by the nonprofit Sustainable Energy for All group.

非盈利组织“人人享有可持续能源”编纂的报告指出，除非人们能摒弃化石燃料转而使用较洁净的能源发电，否则电冰箱、电扇及其他家电将需耗用更多电，进而加剧人为导致的气候变化问题。

About 1.1 billion people in Asia, Africa and Latin America -- 470 million in rural areas and 630 million slum dwellers² in cities -- were at risk among the world's 7.6 billion people, it said.

该报告称，在全世界76亿人口当中，来自亚洲、非洲以及拉丁美洲的11亿人将会处于风险之中。其中，农村约有4.7亿人，城市贫民窟则约有6.3亿人。

"Cooling becomes more and more important" with climate change, said Rachel Kyte, head of the group and special representative for the UN Secretary-General for Sustainable Energy for All.

“人人享有可持续能源”倡议联合国秘书长特别代表雷切尔·基特表示：“随着气候变化，清凉变得越来越重要。”

The UN's health agency says that heat stress linked to climate change is likely to cause 38,000 extra deaths a year worldwide between 2030 and 2050.

联合国的卫生机构表示，2030-2050年，与气候变化有关的暑热压力可能使全球范围内每年额外死亡3.8万人。

In remote areas in tropical countries, many people lack electricity and clinics are often unable to store vaccines³ or medicines that need to be chilled. And in city slums, electricity supplies are often intermittent⁴.

在热带国家的偏远地区，许多人缺乏电力，而诊所往往无法储存需要冷藏的疫苗或药品。在城市贫民窟，电力供应往往是断断续续的。

Many farmers or fishermen, meanwhile, lack access to a "cold chain" to preserve and transport products to markets. Fresh fish goes off within hours if stored at 30℃ but stays fresh for days when chilled.

与此同时，许多农民或渔民无法通过“冷链”来保存和运输产品到市场。如果在30摄氏度的温度下保存，鱼会在数小时内变得不新鲜，但在冷藏时会保持数天新鲜。
