🌍 Climate change is impacting us in more personal ways than we might realize—it’s affecting our health every single day!
Extreme weather events are causing more injuries and deaths. Higher temperatures boost allergens and harmful air pollutants, making it harder to breathe. Contaminated drinking water from algae blooms in warmer waters is a growing threat. Disease-carrying insects like mosquitoes 🦟 are expanding their reach, spreading illnesses to new areas. Even our mental health isn’t immune, with stress and anxiety rising due to climate challenges.🌻
Discover the 5 critical ways climate change is harming our health and how we can take action. Together, let’s build a healthier future! 🌿💚

About UNDRR:
The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) has a big ambition: to help decision-makers across the globe better understand and act on risk. At UNDRR, we believe there is no such thing as a natural disaster. A natural hazard, such as a hurricane, earthquake, tsunami, or flood, only becomes a disaster when it impacts a community that is not adequately protected and whose population is vulnerable as a result of poverty, exclusion, or social disadvantage. We envision a world where disasters no longer threaten the well-being of people and the future of the planet. Sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda cannot be achieved without working towards the goal of building resilience.
