Why do we need Climate Medicine?
According to the CDC
'Climate change, together with other natural and human-made health stressors, influences human health and disease in numerous ways. Some existing health threats will intensify and new health threats will emerge. Not everyone is equally at risk. Important considerations include age, economic resources, and location.'
According to the WHO
'Climate change is the biggest health threat facing humanity'.
