More than half of public health issues in Africa linked to climate change: WHO

More than half of the 2 121 public health events recorded in the past two decades in Africa were climate-related, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said in a new report to mark World Health Day. Natural disasters had also spiked dramatically since 2010, with 70% of all-natural disasters occurring between 2017 and 2021.
