Experts Urge Global Health Emergency as Climate Harms Accelerate
Nearly 150 researchers from over 30 countries are urging the World Health Organization to declare climate change a global health emergency. The Lancet Countdown report states that heat caused more than half a million deaths in 2023, while extreme drought expanded 700% faster than in the previous decade. These accelerating harms have pushed nearly 128 million more people into food insecurity and cost the world $1.07 trillion in lost income last year.
