Climate change: health effects in the UK - UK Health Security Agency
The UK Health Security Agency (UKSHA) perform a similar function to the one previously provided by Public Health England, providing scientific and operational leadership, and working with local, national and international partners to protect the public’s health and build the nation’s health security capability.
This is the fourth Health Effects of Climate Change in the UK report, which provides evidence, analysis and recommendations based on climate change projections for the UK. This version of the report was updated in 2024.
The report looks at why the climate crisis is a health crisis, outlining the co-benefits and opportunities in tackling both together. It overviews the substantial and growing evidence that climate impact will not be equally distributed, and identifies future research gaps.
