A new study, published today in Nature Climate Change, will certainly make the IPCC—and other environmental bodies—take notice.
Climate change threatens the health of billions of people
According to a new report released by the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP), climate change is threatening the health of billions of people worldwide through a range of both direct and indirect pathways, including heat-related mortality and morbidity, extreme weather events such as droughts or floods, decreases in crop yields, changes in the distribution of vector-borne diseases, and wildfires causing widespread exposure to air pollution.
In Conversation: Why climate change matters for human health
The consensus among scientists is that we are in an era of global heating and extreme weather events, primarily due to the devastating effects of human action on the environment. Why are researchers concerned, and what are the implications for health?
Health in the Climate Emergency: A global perspective
number of climate mitigation and adaptation actions that could bring significant improvements to health and health equity.
Potential future malaria transmission in Odisha due to climate change
Future projections of malaria transmission is made for Odisha, a highly endemic region of India, through numerical simulations using the VECTRI dynamical model.
Taking action against climate change will benefit health and advance health equity in the Americas
In this report, prepared by the Inter-American Network of Academies of Science (IANAS), we consider how, through adaptation and mitigation, we can combat the negative effects of climate change on health, but also reduce the ways in which the health system itself contributes to the problem of climate change.
