Climate change is not only an environmental issue but also a major public health challenge. According to the WHO, rising global temperatures and extreme weather events are increasing the spread of diseases like malaria, dengue, and heat-related illnesses.
Prolonged heatwaves, air pollution, and disrupted ecosystems are putting millions at risk, particularly in vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, and low-income communities. Additionally, climate-related food and water shortages are leading to malnutrition and dehydration, exacerbating global health inequities.
The WHO emphasizes that urgent climate action can save lives. Transitioning to renewable energy, improving urban planning, and reducing carbon emissions are critical steps toward protecting public health. On a personal level, adopting sustainable habits—like conserving energy, reducing waste, and supporting green initiatives—can make a big difference.
