WORLD HEALTH DAY 2024 Our CEO Gareth Presch speaks to CitiesWithNature & RegionsWithNature about the opportunities for #socialprescribing to support people's health in Cities. Climate change is the single biggest health threat facing humanity. The impacts are already harming health through air pollution, disease, extreme weather events, forced displacement, food insecurity and pressures on mental health. Every year, environmental factors take the lives of around 13 million people. Over 90 percent of people breathe unhealthy levels of air pollution, largely resulting from burning fossil fuels driving climate change. This is a major problem, especially in urban areas. In 2018, air pollution from fossil fuels caused $2.9 trillion in health and economic costs, about $8 billion a day. "Cities must be healthy, sustainable and future-ready with nature at the heart of our plans."
