Urgency in Safeguarding Human Health Amidst Escalating Climate Change Impacts

Climate impacts are intensifying to become one of the most significant health crises this century. In the recent times, we have seen examples of extreme weather conditions with constant worrisome news of forest fires, heatwaves, draughts, hurricanes, floodings, earthquakes, winter storms, etc. which have led to widespread devastation, deaths, and displacements – the most recent being the Pakistan floods, destroying houses and livelihoods. These extreme weather conditions will continue to take place and will only increase with time. It is extremely vital and urgent for us to understand the causes behind such occurrences – which are mainly related to increased human activity (burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, transportation, industrial emissions, deforestation, urbanization, shifts in vegetation, etc.
