Yes, solutions for nature are also solutions for health! This new analysis finds urban greening is "associated with a wide range of positive health outcomes including improved physical and mental health, increased physical activity, improved childhood development, and reduced exposure to harms."

Sending energy to all those affected by #PalisadesFire. Here is our paper on protecting health & health systems from #wildfires. I think it’s the best briefing out there & I hope it’s helpful. @maibached.bsky.social @katharinehayhoe.com @billmckibben.bsky.social www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Seasons of smoke and fire: preparing health systems for improved performance before, during, and after wildfires
Increased frequency, intensity, and duration of wildfires are intensifying exposure to direct and smoke-related hazards in many areas, leading to evacuation and smoke-related effects on health and health systems that can affect regions extending over thousands of kilometres. Effective preparation and response are currently hampered by inadequate training, continued siloing of disciplines, insufficient finance, and inadequate coordination between health systems and governance at municipal, regional, national, and international levels.

What will the future of the warming stripes be? 2024 could be the start of a stabilisation of global temperatures, or it might appear to be a cool year. Which one of these stories becomes reality depends on our choices today, and every day until then. We are likely to regret not acting sooner.
Two future possibilities of the future warming stripes - rapid action or delayed action.

Summer UK temperatures have warmed faster than global average temperature. But the very hottest days have warmed 4x faster than the global average, especially in south-east England. Global warming is not "just" 1°C or 2°C. The effects of climate change are non-linear, especially for extremes.
Maps showing warming for each UK county for typical summer days (left) and hottest days (right), with darker reds and faster warming for the hottest days especially in south-east England.
