Climate change is likely to kill 250,000 more people each year by
2030, latest assessment by the World Health Organisation (WHO) shows. Most of
these deaths will be caused from malaria, diarrhoeal disease, heat stress and
malnutrition.
Climate
change, also called global warming, refers to the rise in average
surface temperatures on Earth. An overwhelming scientific consensus maintains
that climate change is due primarily to the human use of fossil
fuels, which releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air.
The World Health Organization estimates that climate change is
already causing tens of thousands of deaths every year. These deaths arise from
more frequent epidemics of diseases like cholera, the vastly expanded
geographical distribution of diseases like dengue, and from extreme weather
events, like heat waves and floods. At the same time, nearly 7 million people
each year die from diseases caused by air pollution, such as lung cancer and
stroke.
Experts predict that, by 2030, climate change will cause an additional
250 000 deaths each year from malaria, diarrhoeal disease, heat stress and
undernutrition alone. The heaviest burden will fall on children, women, older
people and the poor, further widening existing health inequalities between and
within populations.
The heaviest burden of
diseases due to climate change will fall on children, women, elderly and the
poor, further widening health inequalities between and within populations, WHO
said. It asked countries, including India, to spend more to protect itself from
health risks linked to climate, such as extreme weather events and outbreaks of
infectious diseases.
The UN agency had set up an
agenda and proposed key actions for its implementation during its recent Paris
meet. WHO estimates that climate change is already causing tens of thousands of
deaths every year.
These deaths arise from more
frequent epidemics like cholera, as well as the vast geographical distribution
of diseases like dengue and from extreme weather events, like heat waves and
floods.
