A 2020 The Lancet study found that 62% of deaths attributed to #ClimateChange were from cardiovascular disease. Hence there is a close link between climate change and cardiac health which is further substantiated by a paper published in European Society of Cardiology #ActOnClimate #HeartHealthMatters
As per a recent report, #Dragonflies are developing shorter wings compared to the body size due to a deficit in monsoons and higher water temperatures because of #ClimateChange. This affects the fly's dispersal & the ability to predate harmful pests causing an ecological imbalance.
A recent study by Daniel Osberghaus and Oli Schenker of ZEW–Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research in cooperation with Frankfurt School found that #ClimateChange induced #HeatWaves can cause exports to plummet worldwide. This could cost the #GlobalEconomy at least ₹5,800 crores from 2020-39. #ClimateActionNow
As per a report by UN & WMO, #WildFires & associated #AirPollution are expected to increase due to #ClimateChange impacting hundreds of millions of people over the coming century due to worsening #AirQuality causing a widespread increase in health hazards. #ActOnClimate #NOW
We need to embrace ourselves for what our world is turning out to be. Of all the challenges faced by mankind, climate change remains the most threatening issue of all time with the survival of our very planet at stake. The world around us is reeling from the ill effects of a warming globe.
Researchers from UBC Forestry, Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions & Bern University found that the global fish stocks in 103 of 226 marine regions had dropped considerably from their historical levels due to #ClimateChange. These stocks could drop by 36% in the 21st century if no #ClimateAction is taken.
In a survey published by IFPRI, it is expected that in #India, the average temperature might increase by 2.4 to 4.4 degrees Celsius by the year 2100 and #heatwaves might either double or quadruple by that time leading to an increase in vector-borne diseases.
In order to restore environmental degradation & support innovations in #GreenEnergy, Greater Chennai Corporation under the Chennai Smart City Limited in a welcome move has come up with initiatives that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by embracing #SmartEnergy solutions.
