We've been learning all about how climate change affects the planet, but now it's time to learn about how it affects us!

Dig a little deeper

If you are looking for some more information about how climate change affects humans, there are plenty of resources out there. Here are a few to get you started:

• Climate change and health fact sheet by the World Health Organisation (WHO): This provides you with the key facts on how climate change affects human health. It also contains a nice infographic to explain how people become exposed to climate- sensitive health risks and what makes people most vulnerable.
• Understanding the health effects of climate change by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). This blog discusses the health effects of climate change within the UK and what the UKHSA are doing to monitor these.
