Get to know who we are

Climate change is posing a growing threat to public health and community social cohesion, with rising sea levels and increased frequency of floods and droughts. This threatens vulnerable populations, including those with mental health issues and chronic illnesses, and undermines development gains by affecting livelihoods, resource management, health, productivity, food insecurity, conflicts, poverty, internal displacement, and refugee crises. The relationship between climate change and health is complex and sometimes indirect.
