I assume this is referring to indirect deaths that could occur, primarily in the developing world, if they have to forego their use of fossil fuels, which could lead to various poverty-related deaths. For the most part, though, there are likely to be limited deaths that would occur due to GHG reductions in the first world - maybe a rise in suicides if the economy crashes hard, but I think that would be a relatively small scale compared to the poverty-related deaths (or climate-related deaths if we don't take action).
