On this World Environment Day, it's important to recognize the significant impact climate change has on our health. As highlighted in a recent article by News9Live, climate change is linked to several diseases. Among these, the risk of hypothyroidism is of particular concern. Changes in temperature and environmental stressors can disrupt thyroid function, leading to a range of health issues. Thyroid medications are already the most prescribed drug in the country, growing at a high 5% CAGR. Could climate change be the sole reason? We doubt it, considering the autoimmune component of hypothyroidism, but it definitely plays a role! https://lnkd.in/ewp9mT6c #WorldEnvironmentDay #ClimateChange #ThyroidHealth #Hypothyroidism #PalomaHealth #womenshealth

Climate Fact 💊 Climate change affects people’s health in two main ways: - By changing the seriousness or frequency of health problems that people already face. 💉 - By creating new or unanticipated health problems in people or places where they have not been before. 🦠 The health effects of climate change include respiratory and heart diseases, pest-related diseases like Lyme disease and West Nile Virus, water and food related illnesses, and injuries and deaths. ⚰️ Climate change has also been linked to increases in violent crime and overall poor mental health. 🔪 For more information regarding the climate change's' health consequences access the following link: https://lnkd.in/g5HpDSVh #ClimateFact #ECONOS

Climate change is the single biggest health threat facing humanity. Climate impacts are already harming health, through air pollution, disease, extreme weather events, forced displacement, pressures on mental health, and increased hunger and poor nutrition in places where people cannot grow or find sufficient food.

Climate change is changing children. From rising temperatures affecting school performance to droughts leading to undernutrition, floods leading to injuries and air pollution increasing adverse birth outcomes, the climate crisis is taking a toll on children’s health. The time for urgent #ClimateAction is NOW.

90% of diseases resulting from the climate crisis are likely to affect children under the age of five. By 2050, a further 24 million children are projected to be undernourished as a result of the climate crisis. In this media resource, UNICEF provides a useful educational resource that requires climate action with "mainstreaming of children" in mind. This is time to act! #climatechange #climateaction #sdgs
