How could climate change affect my health?
Climate change is having major health impacts around the world, which are only expected to increase as our planet gets warmer. These impacts range from heat stroke to the spread of tropical diseases, from hospitals losing power during extreme weather to the effect on our mental health.
In a show first broadcast in 2025, Graihagh Jackson talks to Dr Jemilah Mahmoud, executive director, Sunway Centre for Planetary Health, Malaysia and Dr Omnia El Omrani, vice-chair of the Global Climate and Health Alliance, about the challenges the medical sector faces, as well as possible solutions and how healthcare must also address its own emissions problem.
