How does climate change impact human health around the globe?

From record-breaking heatwaves to severe droughts, floods, and wildfires, climate change is reshaping our world and posing serious risks to human health. Global temperatures have risen by 1.14°C, the highest in 100,000 years, already straining health systems and reducing their capacity to protect public health. Mitigating these risks is crucial to safeguarding the future of human health.
In this climate webinar, Christoph Nabholz, Swiss Re's Chief Research & Sustainability Officer, is joined by Ian Hamilton, Professor in Energy, Environment and Health at ‪@UCLTV‬ and Adrita Bhattacharya-Craven, Program Director of Health and Demographics at ‪@TheGenevaAssociation‬. This panel of experts takes a deep dive into how climate change is currently impacting health, the risks we face in the future, what this means for the insurance industry and the best strategies for mitigation.
