At its core, climate change is also a health issue: from the air we breathe to the food we eat, the health of the planet is fundamentally linked to our own health.
As climate change worsens, so too does human health. And as weather becomes more unpredictable and ecosystems change, it creates and exacerbates acute emergencies. Mental health, disease spread, and more are all at risk of worsening if we do not address climate change.
