The Lancet Countdown

The Lancet Countdown is an international research effort that monitors how climate change and environmental factors impact human health. It analyzes data on global warming, pollution, and other environmental changes to identify health risks and guide policies. Its goal is to raise awareness, inform decision-makers, and promote actions that protect public health in the face of environmental challenges. The initiative emphasizes that tackling climate change is essential for reducing health issues such as heat-related illnesses, disease spread, and air pollution-related conditions, ultimately aiming for a healthier, more sustainable future for everyone.
