Climate change is one of the biggest global health issues of the 21st century with over 3.6 billion people living in areas highly susceptible to climate change. Over 1 billion living in climate-vulnerable countries are constantly facing risks to key health determinants -- weather, air, water, food and disease.
Increased risks of extreme temperatures, natural disasters, and exposure to climate-sensitive diseases result in health effects for every person on the planet, putting our immediate and long-term health at risk.
