Environment and Health
• A healthy environment is essential to health
• People need clean air and water
• Our food and all our material possessions are derived from the world’s natural resources
• Green spaces are important to physical and mental health
![Page 7: Workshop 1: Where to Start](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5681500b550346895dbde6de/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Climate change
• One of the biggest threats to a healthy environment today is climate change
• Warming of the world’s climate system is creating more extreme weather: floods, storms and droughts
• Health researchers have called it the “biggest global health threat of the 21st century

![Page 8: Workshop 1: Where to Start](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5681500b550346895dbde6de/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Climate change can affect health directly…
1. Malnutrition
2. Deaths and injuries caused by storms and floods. (Flooding can also be followed by outbreaks of diseases, such as cholera)
3. Water scarcity / contamination (droughts and sudden floods) – increased burden of diarrhoeal disease.
4. Heatwaves – direct increases in morbidity and mortality; indirect effects via increases in ground-level ozone, contributing to asthma attacks.
5. Vector-borne disease – malaria and dengue.
![Page 9: Workshop 1: Where to Start](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062500/5681500b550346895dbde6de/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
…but climate change also brings much greater health risks from
• Drought
• Crop failure
• Economic collapse
• Mass migration
• Civil unrest
• Societal collapse

Cumulative emissions of greenhouse gases, to 2002
WHO estimates of per capita mortality from climate change, 2000
Map projections from Patz et al, Ecohealth 2007.
WHO Comparative Risk Assessment estimated that by 2000, climate change that had occurred since the 1970s was causing over 150,000 additional deaths per year (WHO, 2002, McMichael et al 2004)
Health impacts are worse for the poorest in the world

• Mitigation: “avoiding the unmanageable” = tackling the causes of climate change
• Adaptation: “managing the unavoidable” = preparing for change
we need to understand the causes for this…

Health “co-benefits” of mitigation
• Many actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions which cause climate change are good for health!o Active travel
o Eating less meat and dairy
o Clean energy
o Family planning
Leading doctors worldwide have called for governments to act decisively on climate

change.” BMJ 2009;339:b3672
