The Urgent Need for Health Equity!
Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it’s affecting health outcomes now, especially among vulnerable populations such as children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those living in at-risk geographic areas. These groups often struggle with social determinants that limit their capacity to adapt and respond to climate risks.
Despite increasing global awareness, many climate-health initiatives overlook the specific needs of these at-risk populations, focusing instead on broad impacts. We must adopt an equity-based approach that prioritizes the needs of every individual to ensure none are left behind in the fight against climate change.
