Read Dr. Kerry's profile in The Lancet. 

“We are facing a profoundly urgent time…Climate change is the single greatest threat to humanity. And the way we experience that primarily and most intimately is through health. I think that we don’t do enough to acknowledge that as a global community or to recognise or remedy that."

 Dr. Kerry speaks about the critical moment we are living in, and why climate change is threatening our health. 

"I am honoured to serve as the WHO Director-General Special Envoy for Climate Change and Health. The climate crisis is a health crisis – it poses a fundamental threat to global health, and urgent action is needed to mitigate and adapt against this complex challenge. Climate change is already wreaking havoc across the world – from the cholera outbreak in Malawi to heat-related illness in India – we must invest in strong health systems now which are resilient against these impacts. I will work with WHO and its partners to drive awareness, develop solutions and build consensus for action for a healthier future for everyone on this planet," said Dr Kerry.

Press Release

Dr. Kerry is profiled in The Telegraph. 

“It is 2022 and it is fundamentally unacceptable that there are still two standards of care...We have seen in the face of pandemics that weak health systems including underinvestment in the health workforce affects not only the health of Africa but that of the world. The status quo is no longer acceptable.”
