Dr. Aaron Bernstein, Director of Harvard Chan C-CHANGE: "We also need to take climate action to prevent the next pandemic." ... "Climate change alters how we relate to other species on Earth and that matters to our health and our risk for infections." ... "Many of the root causes of climate change also increase the risk of pandemics."
"If we really care about preventing this kind of problem in the future, we need to think hard about climate change and the biodiversity crisis. I was actually in a room with a child and a family when I first thought that this is exactly the time that we need to think more about the broader issues that we face. We simply cannot afford to deal with a crisis like this pandemic on top of another climate-related crisis—like a hurricane, tornado, wildfire, or heatwave—when we absolutely know how to implement climate solutions, and can put them into action right now. Doing so will make us healthier today and protect our future."
