Extreme weather has been linked with negative impacts on the human body, and high ambient temperatures are associated with higher incidence of kidney disease in industrial workers — and a weakened immune response to certain pathogens.
Some researchers are confident that both issues could have better outcomes if climate change was approached as a mental health problem.
As reported by Medical News Today, Dr. Marina Romanello, the research director of the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change said, “It is fundamentally a health crisis we have on our hands — much of what we talk about when talk about climate change action, climate change mitigation has to do with healthier lifestyles, with reducing the burden of disease through more physical activity, through healthier, more plant-based diets, through reduced exposure to air pollution and other environmental determinants that damage our health.”
