Climate Change and Health
Climate Change and Health
Climate change is a global crisis that affects everyone.
Evidence shows that heat-related deaths and illnesses are on the increase, and higher temperatures and extreme weather lead to the spread of infection. In short, climate change impacts and disrupts every area of society and our health, so it is a key focus area for Wellcome.
Communities and policy stakeholders need to work together with researchers so that practical and affordable solutions can be developed and implemented in locations where they can have a real-world impact
