SESSION 6

How Does Climate Change Affect People's Health?

Las metas más ambiciosas de reducción de emisiones.

What will we talk about in this session?

Climate change is causing temperatures to rise and triggering extreme events such as rising sea levels, heat waves, air pollution and reduced soil moisture. This phenomenon represents the greatest threat to global health today. The WHO estimates that, between 2030 and 2050, climate change might cause 250,000 deaths per year as a direct result of climate change, due to factors such as heat stress, respiratory problems due to air quality and cardiovascular effects due to pollution.

Food- and water-borne diseases also increase, along with food insecurity, which could affect agricultural productivity in the future.

Another example of the health consequences of climate change are forest fires caused by high ambient temperatures and flooding caused by rising sea levels. These events represent a challenge to communities living in areas prone to these natural disasters.

The Taxonomy regulation establishes that companies publish information on what percentage of their income, their investment (CapEx) and their operating expenses (OpEx) represent their eligible and aligned activities, parameters that give an idea of the proportion that the activities represent. on the total activity of the company.
