Climate change is the greatest health challenge of the 21st century. It is a threat we
have been warned about by scientists and health professionals for over a decade, and,
increasingly, are witnessing firsthand. India has seen a sharp rise of extreme temperatures and heat stress events, cyclones, floods, drought and malnutrition. Often it is the poorest and most vulnerable among
us that are worst affected, pushing many into poverty. The health impacts of climate change have become all too real and are catching our health systems off guard.
