“Much more ambitious action from governments and industry transparency is needed to curb this growing global plastics public health crisis.” Megan Deeney, Research Fellow, LSHTM
⚠️Plastics are a growing public health crisis, causing harm across their life cycle, from climate emissions to toxic chemicals.
Research led by @anhacademy.bsky.social at @lshtm.bsky.social suggests health impacts from plastics could double by 2040 without action.

“For the first time, governments and the public can see how serious dengue is in different parts of the world.” Oliver Brady. Professor of Spatial Epidemiology, LSHTM
🌍Climate change is shifting where and how #InfectiousDiseases spread
🦟A new global #dengue early warning system - led by Professor Oliver Brady @lshtm.bsky.social - aims to predict outbreaks in real-time and support faster public health action.

Graph showing estimated reduction in heat deaths (%) by country after implementation of heat prevention plans across Europe
🌡️#Heatwaves are hitting early across the world - with more expected in Europe later this year.
Evidence from a recent study co-authored by @lshtm.bsky.social found that heat prevention plans reduced deaths from extreme heat by ~25% across Europe.

💡What does inclusive climate and health research look like in practice?
👇Work led by CCCPH colleagues at the @mrcunitgambia.bsky.social - Dorothy Watters, Jainaba Badjie & Dr Ana Bonell - uses arts-based methods to centre the experiences of women with disabilities in heat and health.
“If we do not communicate these novel technologies in a transparent and clear way, it could have a deep impact on how they are seen by consumers.” Dr Sarah Nájera Espinosa, Research Fellow, LSHTM
🌱 From vertical farming to precision fermentation, new technologies could transform the UK’s food system, according to a new report.
But the benefits and risks depend on evidence, regulation, and public trust, says @lshtm.bsky.social expert Dr Sarah Nájera Espinosa👇️

Given the anticipated increase in climate hazards, building the resilience of water and food systems is essential to protect health and well-being of communities. Indira Bose, Research Fellow, LSHTM
Climate change doesn't act alone.
In Latin America, it intersects with violence, inequality, and fragile systems to shape health in complex ways.
Experts from @lshtm.bsky.social explore hidden risks, from water insecurity to maternal health and infectious disease👇️
