Articles - 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.

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. They look 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.
