Climate change and Ecosystem

Health Consequences & Adaptability Development

There is near unanimous scientific consensus that greenhouse emissions generated by act will change Earth's climate. The recent (globally averaged) warming by 0·5°C is partly due to such anthropogenic emissions. Climate change will affect human health in many ways—mostly adversely. Here, we summarize the epidemiological evidence of how climate variations and trends affect various health outcomes. We assess the small evidence there's that recent heating has already affected some health outcomes.
