Climate change is something that is gradually happening and is being grossly underestimated by people, especially in developing countries like mine. However, we are also beginning to feel the impacts, as we had a very bad case of flooding this year, leading to loss of lives, crops and property.
Climate change can also have effects on our health, especially in the age classes that have weaker or undeveloped immune systems like the children, aged and immunocompromised.
Some of the effects we can readily see are the increases in respiratory and cardiovascular disorders, changes in the rate of spread of infectious diseases and overall cost of healthcare and reduction in quality of life.
The consequences must not be directly on our health, but it may come as a result of other sectors being affected. For example climate change is one of the causes of food insecurity, which makes food more expensive or even hard to get, causing malnutrition and lower immunity.
