"Global Medical Journals Urge Urgent WHO Action on Climate Change's Health Impacts"

Over 200 medical journals have called on the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a global health emergency due to the combination of biodiversity loss and changing global temperatures. The rise in global temperatures, driven by human activities, is disrupting social and economic systems and leading to the displacement of millions of people. Waterborne diseases and pollution are also affecting human health and the availability of quality food from oceans. The WHO's recognition of the crisis and involvement in climate-related initiatives is seen as a positive step towards galvanizing efforts from scientists, governments, and policymakers worldwide.
