Lancet Countdown

The Lancet Countdown is an international research initiative that monitors how climate change impacts public health globally. It analyzes data on climate factors like heat, air pollution, and extreme weather, and assesses their effects on health issues such as heat-related illnesses, respiratory diseases, and disease spread. The goal is to inform policymakers and the public about urgent health risks related to climate change, encouraging strategies that protect both the environment and human well-being. Essentially, it connects climate science with health outcomes to promote informed action for a healthier, sustainable future.
