A very nice and simple overview of the currently know #climate impact pathways on human #health. An incredible amount of details behind this figure can the found in the data explorer of The Lancet Countdown on Health and #ClimateChange.

@andrereichel Yes, this seems very likely. At least, health impacts due to #climatecrisis have been acknowledged as a priority for action programmes.
Climate change poses serious risks to mental health and well-being, concludes a new WHO policy brief, launched today at the Stockholm+50 conference. The Organization is therefore urging countries to include mental health support in their response to the climate crisis, citing examples where a few pioneering countries have done this effectively. The findings concur with a recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), published in February this year. The IPPC revealed that rapidly increasing climate change poses a rising threat to mental health and psychosocial well-being; from emotional distress to anxiety, depression, grief, and suicidal behavior.

Thanks for highlighting. Nice and useful, but I wonder if it's a little too simple.
Not having read the Lancet report yet, the only non-climate effect of fossil fuels shown is air pollution (and it is apparently attributed solely to temperature). What about the 'great #NutrientCollapse'? Or effects of #OceanAcidification or land contamination (eg Niger delta) on food security?
https://climatefresk.org/ is more detailed, although less health-specific or evidenced.
