As temperatures climb, extreme weather events hit and sea levels rise, Jamaica and the Caribbean have been reminded of the public health imperative to address climate change and to do so with urgency.
“Science tells us we must think about climate change as a challenge for Jamaica, including the health sector. Science tells us we are hanging in the balance now. Whether the challenge overwhelms or the chance of achieving SDG3 is realised is dependent on the choices we make today,” warned Prof Michael Taylor, climate scientist and dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology at The University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona.
