International experts making an urgent appeal to the World Health Organization have called for the climate crisis to be declared a "global public health emergency" just like the coronavirus pandemic. According to the experts, unless this status is declared, the deaths of millions of people cannot be prevented.
The negative impacts of climate change on health, food security, and water resources are increasingly growing.
International health experts have demanded that the WHO declare the climate crisis a global public health emergency, similar to COVID-19. Without such a step, millions of people could die from preventable causes due to extreme weather events, rising temperatures, and changing precipitation patterns.
An official declaration of the climate crisis as an emergency could directly impact food price instability, drinking water shortages, and increased health expenditures. If the emergency mechanism is activated, accelerated international resources and policies could provide real control over these risks in the coming years.
