Dear Neil/HIFA Members,
Have you seen this piece, republished from 2021, titled "Four reasons why health must be at the heart of climate action" - from Alan Dangour, Director of Climate & Health at the Wellcome Trust?
https://wellcome.org/news/four-reasons-why-health-must-be-heart-climate-...
The 4 reasons are as follows, but do read the article for detail:
1. Hot weather makes health issues worse
2. Climate change is affecting food security
3. Climate change will make infectious diseases spread faster and further
4. Reaching net-zero emissions is cheaper than the alternative
What do you think?
Best wishes
Julie
