WHO Urges Migrant-Inclusive, Climate-Resilient Health Systems

" the seventh in the Global Evidence Review on Health and Migration (GEHM) series. This landmark publication draws attention to the growing intersection of climate change, migration, and health, calling for urgent action to ensure health systems are prepared to meet the health needs of climate-affected migrant and displaced populations

France faces largest wildfire in decades

Firefighters are battling a massive wildfire in Southeastern France’s Aude department. Since Tuesday, the fire has burned an area 1.5 times larger than Paris. One person has died, and three are missing. Dry, windy conditions are fueling the country’s largest wildfire in decades. The French Prime Minister called it an unprecedented disaster.

Rural residents were upset when Oregon released a statewide map estimating property risk from wildfires.

Until then, the impacts of climate change were abstract to many people, one senator said. “This is a very big chicken coming home to roost.”

Groundwater collapse
==================
withdrawal of groundwater is particularly well documented in California, since years.
A couple of examples in retail newspapers - you will find plenty others, just to highlight that we have more than 10 years of articles on that:

To be clear: It’s not about convincing your friends, family, neighbours or colleagues to care about climate change. Chances are they already do. It’s about letting them know you care too — that it’s normal to care, and typical to take action

Talking about climate change is how we break the taboo, build a sense of unity, inspire hope and kickstart action. And it’s easier than you might think

Despite Cyprus being better prepared than ever ahead of the wildfire season, last month Cyprus was hit with its worst wildfire in decades. As Cypriots look for answers, countries in the region – including Greece – are also facing similar challenges as they struggle to build resilience & keep up with the impacts of climate change

Interesting new paper found regular exposure to heat can affect learning outcomes for students, especially those in lower socioeconomic groups. That means students at schools with AC will fare much better as temperatures rise and heat waves become more common. Demonstrates clearly how the climate crisis exacerbates already existing inequalities in the world, as quality of education is already correlated with wealth.

journals.plos.orgCumulative exposure to urban heat can affect the learning capacity of students and penalize the vulnerable and low-income young population: A systematic reviewElevated temperatures pose significant threats to human health, with young people particularly susceptible to impaired cognitive performance and increased mental health risks. Prolonged exposure to heat may compound these effects, especially in educational settings. This systematic review synthesizes existing research on the long-term and cumulative effects of heat stress on students’ cognitive performance. It evaluates the scale and mechanisms of cognitive decline, explores adaptation strategies and technologies designed to mitigate these impacts, and examines social and economic disparities in vulnerability to heat. The review also considers projections of future overheating and its cognitive consequences. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Google Scholar for peer-reviewed studies published in English between 2009 and December 2024. Inclusion criteria focused on research examining prolonged temperature exposure effects on school and university students’ learning capacity, socioeconomic inequalities, applied adaptation measures, and future climate-related cognitive risks. Studies focused on short-term heat effects, clinical trials, theses, and reviews were excluded. Eligible studies were selected for their large sample sizes and methodological robustness to minimize bias. The findings were synthesized narratively. Seven studies from six articles, encompassing data on nearly 14.5 million students across 61 countries, met the inclusion criteria. Long-term heat exposure was found to impair students’ cumulative learning, with complex tasks (e.g., mathematics) more affected than simpler ones (e.g., reading). Adaptation via acclimatization and increased air conditioning use showed protective effects. However, lower socioeconomic groups faced disproportionately greater impacts, underlining critical inequalities. As global temperatures rise, these disparities may widen. The review notes challenges related to methodological differences and population heterogeneity across studies (S1 Checklist).

Nauru sells first passports to help fund relocations as sea levels rise
