With 2023 shattering climate records across the world following decades of unprecedented warming, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of Parties 28 (UNFCCC COP28) in Dubai was the first UN climate change conference to feature an official ‘Health Day’ and witnessed the largest-ever turnout of the global health community. The threat of climate change to human well-being and planetary health has previously received little attention at the annual COPs, despite ever-growing scientific evidence warning of the increasing health dangers.

EEA Report 01/2024
Chapter 14
On a global scale, one of the biggest threats to human health from climate change is the increase in climate-sensitive infectious diseases, driven by rising temperatures, droughts and water scarcity, torrential rains, floods and warming oceans, among other factors. 58% of infectious diseases confronted by humanity worldwide have at some point been aggravated by climate hazards. The impacts on Europe to date have been limited, but there is growing evidence that vector-borne, foodborne and waterborne diseases will increase in the coming decades.
