Climate-Health Crisis!
Innovations, Education, Research, Multilateralism, and Resilience Tools for People | Planet | Profits?
Climate Change has been haunting human health and health infrastructure for centuries. Millions have succumbed to climate-related disasters and diseases and healthcare systems, especially the already weak ones in Africa are crumbling! Across the globe, leaders are working through the UN and World Health Organization to avert this crisis. However, these efforts are still minimal! We’re accelerating these efforts in Uganda and Africa! See more.
Triple Planetary Crisis & Health
According to the World Health Organization, thousands of people die each year from direct hazards like fires, floods, earthquakes, heatwaves, and diseases due to climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. 4.5m annual deaths are due to pollution-related disease hazards and climate change alone kills more than 400,000 each year through hunger and diseases. Biodiversity loss related to issues like disease outbreaks (COVID-19 and others) is even worse. The triple planetary crisis also affects healthcare systems worldwide, making it hard for the already vulnerable populations to access care. 90% of those who succumb to climate-related disasters are in Africa! Miklah is at the forefront of this fight. How?
