increases in zoonoses and food-, water- and vector-borne diseases, and mental health issues. Furthermore, climate change is undermining many of the social determinants for good health, such as livelihoods, equality and access to health care and social support structures.

anxiety
Data
2 billion people lack safe drinking water and 600 million suffer from foodborne illnesses annually, with children under 5 bearing 30% of foodborne fatalities.
3.6 billion people lives in areas highly susceptible to climate change.
Without preventive actions, deaths from such diseases, currently over 700 000 annually, may rise
37% of heat-related deaths to human-induced climate change. Heat-related deaths among those over 65 have risen by 70% in two decades.
Future
In 2020, 98 million more experienced food insecurity compared to the 1981–2010 average
The WHO conservatively projects 250 000 additional yearly deaths by the 2030s due to climate change impacts on diseases like malaria and coastal flooding.
