New UN force on
climate impacts on health
There will be a new
unit to cope with climate impacts on health issues under the UN. The World
Meteorological Organization (WMO) and World Health Organization (WHO) are
jointly setting up a pool of scientists to give advice on health issues caused
or can be caused by climate change, such as extremely heavy rainfalls, floods
or droughts.
That sounds
especially helpful for the regions whose land is near sea level, namely around
the Indian Ocean and western Africa. Even if people could survive floods or
cyclone, their lives might face danger of diseases malaria or diarrhea.
It might sound
like a good move but where the actions are to stop or slow the global warming?
Enjoy reading and
learning about a new move by the U.N.
