The International Academy of Public Health (IAPH) recognizes climate change as one of the biggest threats to global health in the 21st century. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and environmental disruptions are increasing the spread of infectious diseases, reducing food security, and worsening air quality. π± How Does Climate Change Affect Health? π΄ Heatwaves & Extreme Weather β More frequent and intense heatwaves cause heat-related illnesses, while hurricanes, floods, and wildfires displace communities and strain healthcare systems. π¦ Vector-Borne Diseases β Rising temperatures expand the habitats of disease-carrying mosquitoes, increasing the risk of malaria, dengue, and Lyme disease. π« Air Pollution & Respiratory Issues β Poor air quality contributes to millions of premature deaths annually due to conditions like asthma and lung disease. π° Water & Food Insecurity β Droughts and floods disrupt agriculture, leading to malnutrition and food shortages. π‘ What Can Be Done? β Strengthening climate-resilient health systems β Reducing carbon emissions and air pollution β Enhancing early warning systems for climate-related health risks β Promoting sustainable policies and individual actions At IAPH, we are committed to educating and empowering public health professionals to tackle climate-related health challenges through research, advocacy, and innovative solutions. π A healthier planet means healthier people.

The International Academy of Public Health (IAPH) joins the global call to action against antimicrobial resistance (AMR)βone of the most pressing public health threats of our time. AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites evolve and no longer respond to the medicines designed to kill them, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of severe illness, disability, and death. π Why Does AMR Matter? By 2050, AMR could cause 10 million deaths annually if no action is taken. It threatens modern medicine, making routine surgeries, cancer treatments, and childbirth riskier. The economic burden of AMR is enormous, increasing healthcare costs and reducing productivity. π¬ What Can Be Done? β Strengthening surveillance to track resistance patterns. β Promoting rational antibiotic use and reducing overprescription. β Enhancing infection prevention and control in healthcare settings. β Investing in new treatments and alternative therapies. β Raising awareness among healthcare workers, policymakers, and the public. At IAPH, we are committed to equipping public health professionals with the knowledge and skills to combat AMR through education, research, and policy advocacy. Together, we can protect the effectiveness of life-saving medicines for future generations. π‘ Join the fight against AMRβact today for a healthier tomorrow! #PublicHealth #AMR #AntibioticResistance #OneHealth #IAPH
