The World Health Organization estimates that extreme heat kills almost half a million people each year .
But the threats to public health posed by climate change go well beyond extreme heat.
Historic rainfall and rising temperatures are driving malaria, cholera and dengue outbreaks.
Less than a third of cities have a resilience plan that integrates climate and health, according to a new report.
The Rockefeller Foundation report underscores the importance of developing “always-on” communication strategies.
Early warning systems are a case of “low hanging fruit,” says Celeste Saulo , secretary-general of the WMO.
The WHO and WMO estimate that scaling a warning system like this could avert almost 100,000 deaths a year.
Last December , at COP28, governments and other stakeholders committed $1 billion to the climate-health crisis.
But that is well short of the $11 billion each year Rao says is needed for low- and middle-income countries to adapt to climate and health impacts.
“What needs to hold this whole thing together is more funding,” Rao says.
