The last four years are the four warmest on record, and a super El Niño means 2027 could be hotter still.
This summer’s heatwaves killed tens of thousands of people in Europe alone.
At #COP31, Alan Dangour joined WMO Secretary-General @celestesaulo and @unclimatechange Executive Secretary Simon Stiell to make the case that climate negotiations must put people first.
Watch the clip.

Why is Wellcome at #COP31?
Because tackling climate change is also about protecting our health.
As COP31 gets underway in Türkiye, we’re focusing on how climate action can improve people’s health.
What does extreme heat mean for pregnancy? How can cleaner energy improve the air we breathe? And how could cutting harmful pollutants offer fast benefits?
Here’s a quick guide to some of the issues we’re focusing on at COP31, why they matter and what can be done.

“Treat this negotiation as though people’s lives depend on it, because they do.”
That is the message from health experts ahead of #COP31.
The health impacts of climate change have got worse, but climate action is already saving lives. Even small interventions can save lives.
Policy makers must act now. Next week, we will be at #COP31 calling for urgent action on climate change to protect human health.

One year on from COP30, the Climate & Health Funders Coalition has awarded more than $225 million.
That’s three-quarters of the $300 million we pledged going towards accelerating solutions on extreme heat, air pollution, climate-sensitive infectious diseases and climate-health data.
We also have a further $150 million in new commitments.
Thank you to our partners Bloomberg Philanthropies, Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, Gates Foundation, IKEA Foundation, Quadrature Charitable Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation, Philanthropy Asia Alliance.
And welcome to our new partners Novo Nordisk Foundation, Laudes Foundation and Nand & Jeet Khemka Foundation.

Imagine explaining to your grandmother...
that she must leave her home because of climate change. Or wading through floodwater on your way to work.
For many people in the Pacific Islands, these situations are not hypothetical. This is the reality they are facing right now.
But indigenous communities also have the knowledge and the resilience to adapt to climate change. Their voices must be heard by world leaders.
At #COP31, we are supporting Pacific governments, communities and advocates to drive climate and health action from the frontlines.

Banyak yang gak sadar, Ini masalah lingkungan yang dampaknya paling bahaya buat kesehatan!
Di Global Heat Forum kali ini, aku diajak @wellcometrust buat ikut diskusi bareng para ilmuwan dan profesional dari seluruh dunia untuk cari solusi menghadapi panas ekstrem. Karena dampaknya bukan cuma ke kesehatan, tapi juga ke kehidupan sehari-hari kita, guys!
Semoga apa yang aku pelajari di sini bisa jadi bantuan untuk Indonesia, terutama Karhutla!

Fewer painful injections. Less time in hospital.
That’s what new oral treatments could mean for people with visceral leishmaniasis, a deadly parasitic disease.
The goal is treatment that’s safer and easier to take. Hear from Luis Pizarro, Executive Director of DNDi, about what patients need.

Climate change is already harming people’s health, from extreme heat and pregnancy complications to the super pollutants we breathe in. Many solutions exist. Not enough people connect the two.
What would you ask an expert about climate change and health?
We’re heading to COP31 and we’ll put your questions to the experts in the room, then bring you the answers.

GREAT NEWS!
Students win important court case for the health of people and our planet! Share this video to help celebrate this win! 🙌
Watch the new documentary ALL RISE, produced in partnership with @wellcometrust, for more details over on @the.independent’s website (link in bio) (ad)
The International Court of Justice has just ruled that every country has a legal duty to protect people’s health from climate harm.
This is a turning point where international law has risen to meet the greatest challenge of our time, all prompted by young people willing to fight for their future!

What does extreme heat mean for a baby before they’re even born?
Research has linked extreme heat during pregnancy to a higher risk of premature birth. It’s often seen as a problem for hotter countries, but now it's a growing health risk here in the UK too.
At @swanseauni, the Wellcome-funded @magenta_project_uk study is looking at how heat affects pregnant women and their babies.
In this episode of Research in Action, we meet the pregnant women, midwives and scientists building the evidence needed to protect mothers and babies as temperatures rise.
Watch the full film via the link in our bio.

Extreme heat is putting pregnant women and their babies at risk.
The evidence is clear. Solutions exist. As #COP31 approaches, we need leaders to act.
We're calling for:
- Greater protection for pregnant and postpartum women and newborns in national plans.
- Dedicated WHO guidance on protecting women during pregnancy and after childbirth from extreme heat.
- Better data systems to track progress and hold governments accountable.

For years, nobody could tell Lisa and Phil why their daughter Lulu wasn't reaching her milestones. Since the answer came, Lisa says, "we've just got this community now of people that get it." How they got that answer is in the full film. Link in bio.
