Immune-mediated disease and climate change | Frontiers in Science

The devastating impacts of climate change are ever-more apparent-including on our health. Asthma, allergies, cancers, and other immune-mediated diseases are on the rise, with the burden falling hardest on the world’s most vulnerable people.
Agache et al. describe the links between climate change, environmental exposures, and immune dysregulation and its associated diseases. Their lead article also recommends equitable, global, and multilevel mitigation and adaptation solutions to reduce the impact of climate change on human health.
