is there a connection between the climate crisis and pandemics?
The research is clear: climate change multiples the threats of infectious diseases. Top contributors to the climate crisis - such as air pollution - directly impact health and cause death (1 in 10 deaths is caused by air pollution!) and prove to significantly increase likelihood of sickness and death from COVID19. The increasing number and intensity of natural disasters adversely impacts infrastructure and supply chains vital for effective response to pandemics. The climate is changing. Why aren't we?
