WHO Deputy Director-General: Climate change is causing "many, many diseases"

WHO Deputy Director-General: Climate change is causing "many, many diseases", including Mpox, Marburg and Ebola, to accelerate in terms of their emergence."

"It's been driven by climate change, driven by droughts and floods."

"Pathogens are very simple things. They exploit opportunity... That opportunity is mainly provided by man... The way we abuse the environment."

"Much of what we're doing is allowing those diseases, once they emerge, to amplify quickly in human populations."
