Abstract: (197 Views)
The convergence of emergency and disaster risk and climate change presents one of the most pressing health challenges of our time. The frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, like floods, heatwaves, wildfires, rising seas, and storms have increased markedly, placing unprecedented pressure on already fragile health systems. Climate change is a threat and risk multiplier, compounding vulnerabilities, and triggering cascading disasters that severely affect population health, particularly in developing countries with low-resource and high-risk settings.
