GLOBAL WARMING

Global warming is the long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system. It is a major aspect of climate change and has been demonstrated by direct temperature measurements and by measurements of various effects of the warming. Global warming and climate change are often used interchangeably.

Dr. Maria Neira, WHO Director, Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health talks about the links between health and climate change at this special edition of the Talanoa talks organized by the COP23 and 5x15 at London at the Royal Institution.
