| 分会内容： | The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) concludes that climate risks are appearing faster and will become more severe sooner than previously expected, and it will be harder to adapt with increased global heating. The WMO provisional State of the Global Climate report confirms that 2023 is set to be the warmest year on record, which was around 1.40 oC above the 1850-1900 average. At the 28th UN Climate Change Conference (COP28), 123 countries signed the UAE Climate and Health Declaration to “place health at the heart of climate action”, sounding the alarm on the severe health implications of climate change. Climate change is impacting health in a myriad of ways, including by leading to death and illness from increasingly frequent extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, storms and floods, and the disruption of food systems. Climate change alters host defenses, vectors, pathogens, habitat and has implications for the spread of infectious disease. Furthermore, the effects of climate change on chemical contaminants and their potential consequences to human wellbeing are of paramount importance, as they pose overlapping risks. This branch venue welcomes, but is not limited to, presentations on the above topics. | ||
