Climate change
Climate change exacerbates humanitarian crises including heatwaves, wildfires, floods, and storms, with escalating frequency and intensity. Approximately 3.6 billion people reside in highly vulnerable regions.
By 2030-2050, climate-related factors may cause 250,000 additional annual deaths. Strengthening health infrastructure, especially in developing nations, is crucial for mitigation and adaptation. Efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions offer substantial health benefits, notably through decreased air pollution.
What actions can each of us take in our daily lives to combat climate change and protect vulnerable communities from its devastating effects?
