NSTworld: The Lancet Countdown is a coalition of 35 institutions including the World Health Organization and the World Bank.

Children across the world were already suffering the ill effects of air pollution and extreme weather events, said The Lancet Countdown in its annual report on the impact of climate change on human health.

August was the hottest month ever recorded and Earth has already warmed one degree Celsius since industrialisation. The report, compiled by 120 experts, used the latest available data and climate modelling to predict global health trends as the mercury climbs throughout the decades. This not only increases the likelihood of children contracting diseases such as cholera in at-risk regions, it also enlarges their spread.
