Mint Mumbai
|December 04, 2023
The burden of tropical diseases is expected to worsen as the world warms
-
The United Arab Emirates and several charities at the UN climate summit on Sunday offered $777 million in financing for eradicating neglected tropical diseases that are expected to worsen as temperatures climb.
Climate-related factors "have become one of the greatest threats to human health in the 21st century", COP28 president Sultan Ahmed Al-Jaber said in a statement.
The pledges, made as the COP28 summit on Sunday focused on climate-related health risks, included $100 million from the UAE and another $100 million from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Others to announce funds for climate-related health issues included Belgium, Germany and the US Agency for International Development.
The World Bank launched a programme to explore possible support measures for public health in developing countries, where climate-related health risks are especially high.
