At iClimate Aarhus University annual meeting, I spoke about the human face of #ClimateChange. It is already shaping how we live, breathe, & feel. By 2050, the effects on #health will be even more profound. The question we must ask is whether health becomes the casualty or the compass of that shift.

Extreme weather sweeps across Asia While torrential rains pound China, sweltering heat has enveloped places like Japan and South Korea.

๐Ÿšจ From deadly heatwaves in Japan to flash floods in India, Asia is facing a climate emergency. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, intense, and deadly.

This is not the future. It is happening now!!! bbc.com/news/article...

#Delhi 's #airquality is a wake-up call for all of #SouthAsia. The health impacts of #pollutionโ€” #COPD, #asthma #heartdisease, & moreโ€”are likely underestimated, with millions silently suffering. This is just the tip of the iceberg, demanding urgent, collective regional action

On #WorldCOPDDay, let us confront a harsh reality: #COPD causes 3.2M deaths yearly, with 90% in low- & middle-income countries. Air pollution, smoking, and lack of healthcare access make it worse. Together, we can fight for cleaner air, stronger healthcare systems, and healthier lungs. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐Ÿซ
