Climate Change and Our Health
- In 2023, heatwaves pushing temperatures beyond 45°C in several Indian states placed significant pressure on emergency response systems and led to a rise in the number of people seeking hospital care.
- These heatwaves and rising climate-linked illnesses follow a global pattern of intensified heat, floods, and storms overwhelming health systems and infrastructure.
- Health systems and insurance sectors are adapting by emphasizing prevention, risk mitigation, and new strategies amid these intensifying climate threats.
- Anthony Feinstein’s study of 268 climate journalists found 48% suffer moderate to severe anxiety and 22% show PTSD symptoms, highlighting mental health risks of climate reporting.
- This trend signals broad public health challenges requiring multidisciplinary solutions, as climate change reshapes disease patterns, mental health, and systemic resilience worldwide.

A systems approach to evaluating the air quality co-benefits of US carbon policies
Because human activities emit greenhouse gases (GHGs) and conventional air pollutants from common sources, policy designed to reduce GHGs can have co-benefits for air quality that may offset some or all of the near-term costs of GHG mitigation. We present a systems approach to quantify air quality co-benefits of US policies to reduce GHG (carbon) emissions. We assess health-related benefits from reduced ozone and particulate matter (PM2.5) by li…
New study reveals how to prevent thousands of premature deaths from 'invisible' threat: 'We can significantly reduce the region's health burden'
A new study suggests that regulating air pollution in Southeast Asia could significantly reduce ozone-related premature deaths by 2050. Ozone is a pollutant that is especially harmful to people with asthma, heart disease, and other illnesses. According to Nanyang Technological University, the study's key metric, ozone-related premature deaths, means deaths caused by high levels of ground-level ozone. Researchers at NTU Singapore analyzed a few …

Climate change and our health
This series has already discussed the changes in Montana’s climate, the science behind those changes, and some of the impacts on Montana’s agriculture industry. When it comes to our own health, or the health of our families, things get more…
Norwegian companies should prepare for new framework conditions that contribute to emission reductions domestically. This is a key signal in the climate agreement.
Getting to know foreign cultures, just getting out, breathing. There are many reasons for long-distance travel – but they are driving CO2 emissions up. A discussion about your next vacation and appropriateness in times of the climate crisis.
