Climate change is not just about environmental issue ,it is also an immediate and urgent concern that affects various aspects of society, including human health. The key points regarding the immediate nature of climate change:
1-Health impacts
2-Food security
3-Water scarcity
4-Displacement and migration
4- Economic impact and others.

⚠️ Climate change threatens the essential ingredients of good health – clean air, safe drinking water, nutritious food supply and safe shelter – and has the potential to undermine decades of progress in Global Health.
🏛️ Take a look at the "Climate Change 2023" Synthesis Report Summary for Policymakers, by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change.

The climate and environmental crises are unprecedented, but nature provides many solutions to promote health and mitigate the climate crisis. If given the opportunity, exploring research in Nature-Based Solutions would be my future studies!

Earth Day 2024. I read an excellent and disheartening report this morning about how the public feels around the world regarding climate change. From the report:
"Better communication and education to help individuals know where their actions can have the most impact is an area government could be doing better...37% say easy access to more information would encourage them to take more action....People feel they can make a personal impact against climate change but need greater knowledge about how to make the most effective choices."
The image below is from something I read several years ago and is one of the best charts I have seen on how impactful our personal choices can be to climate change. When I viewed it, it was too late for me to have one less child (which has a tremendous impact on climate) but there were several other choices I made - and which I continue to make - to reduce my contribution to climate change.

Thanks to Kate Lister for bringing the IPSOS report to my attention. Full report in the comments below.
Climate change has been called the most important threat to human health in the 21st century. It is estimated that if the temperature rises and its impact on the other climatic variables continues unchanged, it will kill more than 83 million people (1 percent of the world’s population) in the next 80 years.
We studied the Impact of Climate Change in Health in Colombia and Recommendations for Mitigation and Adaptation. Follow this link:
