Tackling climate change could be the greatest global health opportunity of the 21st century. Many of the interventions required to mitigate and adapt bring enormous benefits for human health and wellbeing in the form of cleaner air, healthier diets, and more liveable cities.
The data here works to track the financial and economic dimensions of the effects of climate change, and of mitigation efforts required to respond to these changes.
Indicators here monitor the economic costs of climate change and its drivers, as well as the investments and economic tools being deployed to transition to a low-carbon economy. The indicators in this section track the links between health and climate change in the media, national governments, the corporate sector, and the broader public.
Heat-related deaths in people older than 65 reached a record high of an estimated deaths in ; between and , all WHO regions, except for Europe, saw an increase in heat-related deaths in this vulnerable age group.
While vulnerabilities to arboviruses transmitted by A. There are currently Globally, adaptation funding that is directed at health systems represents a small proportion of total climate change adaptation funding 0. In , global coal use for all activities fell 1. Global coal demand is expected to rise by 4.
In medium and high HDI group countries, the share of solid biofuel has fallen more rapidly and clean cooking fuel technology use has risen substantially.
Between and the estimated deaths due to excess red meat consumption rose by 1. The healthcare sector was responsible for 4. Healthcare emissions are positively associated with Human Development Index levels, largely through health spending, but minimal association is seen after emissions of kg CO2eq per capita. The monetised value of global heat-related mortality increased by 6.
Equivalent to the annual income of In , the upward trend in coverage of health and climate change continued but did not match the increase seen in ; in , most of the coverage of health and climate change referred to COVID In , engagement in health and climate change increased to its highest level among companies in the UN Global Compact.

Thank you. This event will contextualise the findings of the Lancet Countdown report for Europe, bringing together leading academics and policymakers with wide-ranging experience and expertise.
Find your local event and join us to explore the latest global health profile of climate change, in the context of this unprecedented and challenging moment in time. The Report People in every region of the world are increasingly seeing their health affected by climate change.
Download the report. Key message Every region of the world is affected by climate change and its health impacts are getting worse. Key message With current commitments putting the world on track to 2. Key message The COVID pandemic has demonstrated the need for increased international co-operation in the face of global crises.
Climate Change Impacts, Exposures and Vulnerability. Climate Change Impacts, Exposure and Vulnerability A changing climate has profound implications for human health, with more frequent heatwaves and extreme weather events, changing patterns of infectious disease, and the exacerbation of existing health challenges around the world.
Specialised cortex cells — the neural progenitors — are responsible for the specification, positioning and maturation of neurons in the cortex, […]. We hope you continue to enjoy following our updates and activities. We are excited […]. The nucleus of eukaryotic cells contains the genome of an organism, which consists of chromosomal DNA arranged in well-organised protein-DNA structures.
To proliferate, cells first duplicate their chromosomal DNA and then distribute it evenly between to daughter cells by means of a multistep process referred to as cell cycle. During cell division or mitosis, the […].
Retrotransposons or transposable elements TEs are parts of eukaryotic DNA that can replicate and paste themselves into different locations in the genome. Craig Glastonbury is a geneticist with a background in Machine Learning applied to biological problems. To do this, Craig combines the latest developments in Machine Learning with large scale genomic and clinical datasets, with a specific focus on histopathology and […]. She dedicated her life to the study of plants, including their genetics, and she imported the first palms trees, kiwis and grapefruits to the country.
The […]. In the context of the Festival delle Scienze, Prof. Giuseppe Testa shares the latest developments in the world of neuroscience through the story of the creation of the Neurogenomics Research Centre of Human Technopole: its innovative features, the profiles of excellence of its researchers and the use and development of organoids.
