We strongly believe that partnering with health institutions during and after extreme weather events will contribute significantly in reducing the health impacts of climate change on the most exposed populations.

The Health sector is one of the main victims of Climate change.

Climate and climate-related hazards such as floods, storms, and droughts have served as trigger events for more than 75% of the disasters that have occurred globally over the past decade. Proportionately, these disasters affect the least developed countries most intensely, proving to be especially harmful to poverty stricken populations.

Outbreaks of water-borne diseases including typhoid, paratyphoid fever and malaria are always experienced in areas hit by flood disaster.

Though people in developing countries are most vulnerable to health risks globally, but climate change poses significant threats to health even in wealthy nations.

Certain populations, such as children, pregnant women, older adults, and people with low incomes, face increased risks says EPA.

CCRF’s management works with the personnel of health institutions to bring succor to people affected by floods and heat waves.
