Most countries in the world have begun to prepare for medical disasters amid the climate crisis. According to Eco-Business, WHO expects serious health problems due to global warming.
According to an international organization, 90% of states have included health hazards in their plans to combat global warming. Experts noted that in 2020 the figure was lower. At that time, 70% of states were thinking about health risks.
WHO’s head of public health and environment, Maria Neira, said that climate change threatens basic parameters – including access to food, water, shelter and clean air. According to experts, it may be difficult for the authorities to adequately respond to growing risks.
“Climate change is fueling all the possible medical disasters that we expect,” she said. Neira believes that climate change needs to be treated differently.
Of those that included health risks in their climate plans, she said, only 10% took into account an analysis of the potential public health benefits of such measures.
