However, the impact of climate change on health and wellbeing has had a lower profile, despite the World Health Organization highlighting in 2015 that it is the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century.https://climatechampions.unfccc.int/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/enzo-b-dS6_VToqst8-unsplash.jpg24001601
