"There is a rapidly growing public health emergency we can now see and feel, but many in society – including too many political leaders – still fail to recognise the gravity of the situation, in part because the effects follow an exponential curve that is slow at first.

"We are yet to truly experience the multiple compounding disasters (more fires, floods, rises in sea levels, acidification of the oceans, famines, increased infectious diseases, mass migration) predicted by expert modelling to occur later this century if we don’t act now."
Professor Nick Talley at #MEDINFO23 in Sydney
