The Health Effects of Climate Change (report)

The report on the health effects of climate change highlights how rising global temperatures and changing weather patterns impact our well-being. Climate change increases the risk of heat-related illnesses, spreads infectious diseases like malaria, and worsens air quality, leading to respiratory problems. It also affects food and water security, causing malnutrition and waterborne diseases. Vulnerable populations, including children and the elderly, are especially at risk. Overall, climate change threatens to exacerbate health inequalities and increase healthcare burdens, emphasizing the need for mitigation and adaptation strategies to protect public health now and in the future.
