Climate Risks to Health Set to Worsen Inequity, Harm Children

Monday, 21 December, 2020 - 13:15 A father and his child are holding a sign as climate activists protest outside the Shell building in London, Britain, September 8, 2020. REUTERS/Dylan Martinez Asharq Al-Awsat Rising global health risks driven by climate change will hit the poorest, most vulnerable people the hardest - and failure to prepare for those threats will mean more deaths and suffering, a leading environmental health scientist told Thomson Reuters Foundation. From impoverished families living in flood-prone homes to women whose cultures require them to stay covered in extreme heat, climate impacts on health have a strong equity component , said Kristie Ebi, a professor at the University of Washington s Center for Health and the Global Environment.

Misinformation fuels fears about COVID-19 vaccine

Misinformation fuels fears about COVID-19 vaccine December 18, 2020 5:43 PM Ariana Lake Updated: SPOKANE, Wash.– Just as the vaccine rolls out, public health experts are dealing with another kind of viral attack. This one is online. At the University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public, Jevin West studies misinformation and disinformation. He’s been closely monitoring how false information is impacting the pandemic and efforts to vaccinate the public. “I wish the only problem was developing the vaccination, because that’s a tremendous feat all by itself, but now we have to deal with the people side,” West said. One key to understanding the rampant spread of misinformation is to see how politically-charged things have been, according to West.
