World Health Day
World Health Day is an opportunity to raise awareness and public understanding of the global and locally relevant health consequences of climate change. The science is clear. The earth is warming, the warming is accelerating, and human actions are responsible. If current warming trends remain uncontrolled, humanity will face more injury, disease and death related to natural disasters and heatwaves, higher rates of food borne water borne and vector borne illness, and more premature deaths and disease related to air pollution.
