Climate Risk is Health Risk: New NUS Research Initiatives on Health and Climate 
- 01 Dec 2023

Climate change is not just an environmental problem. Over the past year, climate-induced wildfires, floods and heatwaves all over the world have affected human health and wellbeing, and weakened the ability of healthcare systems in disaster zones to respond to the crisis. 

To boost the capacity of the healthcare sector in dealing with the compounding risks of climate change and biodiversity loss, the National University of Singapore is launching a series of initiatives to contribute to the growing body of research on the links between climate change and health.
