It’s essential to recognize the links between climate change and respiratory health. Infectious diseases, like pneumonia, remain a leading cause of illness and death worldwide, particularly among vulnerable populations like children under 5. Climate change contributes to pneumonia in various ways: air pollution and particulate matter can weaken respiratory systems, while extreme weather events like floods and hurricanes can lead to overcrowded living conditions and increased exposure to infectious pathogens. Learn how USAID is partnering with countries to combat preventable infectious diseases, like pneumonia, by supporting more climate-resilient communities and health systems through our new strategies: Climate Strategy: https://lnkd.in/gzMQGdrJ Resilience Policy: https://lnkd.in/e4CD_bzs
