The heat is on as climate change hits home
From extreme heat to pollution from fossil fuels, and the rise of mosquito-borne diseases, the link between climate change and human health is a strong one.
The health sector itself is a big contributor to global warming, accounting for 5% of global emissions
At the COP28 climate talks in Dubai, health featured as a theme for the first time, helping to bring the climate-health nexus to the forefront.
In the February-March issue of The Ethical Corporation magazine, we take a deep-dive into issues ranging from Big Pharma’s drive to cut its carbon footprint, how solar power is enabling the rollout of malaria vaccines in Africa, the impacts of climate change on women in agricultural supply chains, and how investors are waking up to antibiotic resistance and ‘forever’ chemicals.
