Scientific projections indicate that climate change will significantly continue to affect human health and well-being both directly and indirectly.
The science is clear. The earth is warming, the warming is accelerating, and human actions are responsible.
If current warming trends remain uncontrolled, humanity will face
more injury, disease and death related to natural disasters and heat waves
higher rates of food borne, waterborne and vector-borne infectious illness
more premature deaths and disease related to air pollution.
Moreover, in many parts of the world, large populations will be
displaced by sea level rise
affected by drought and famine and decreased productivity of arable land.
