To Save the Planet, Save the Bees

For as long as she can remember, 11-year-old Markela has been collecting honey with her grandfather from the family's beehives in Nea Makri, Greece.
These days, the beehives are weaker. Bee populations are an indicator of healthy ecosystems. In Greece, crippling heat waves are taking a heavy toll on the environment - and the bees.
Without coordinated, concrete actions to limit CO2 emissions, the wildfires, heat waves and droughts that Greece is seeing will get far worse. So will the health and well-being of the bees - and of children like Markela.
UNICEF is calling on governments to reduce their emissions and institute holistic approaches to mitigate harm caused by climate shock, including by placing a strong primary health care response at the center of all climate change preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery efforts.
