Climate change puts a significant strain on healthcare systems, simultaneously increasing the demand for healthcare services and at the same time worsening the system&#039;s ability to respond. The climate crisis is also rapidly deteriorating access to basic human needs such as food security, safe drinking water and sanitation, and clean air. As a result, according to new data from the World Bank, a warmer climate could lead to at least 21 million more deaths by 2050 from just five health risks: extreme heat, stunting, diarrhea, malaria and dengue fever.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the global climate crisis escalates, its devastating impacts on human health and well-being will accelerate.
