During the spring, micro-dust invited huge health issues in Korea and the record high heat now invites more health issues.

World Health Organization(WHO) estimates between 2030 and 2050, additional 250,000 deaths per year will be projected as a result of climate change(affecting factors such as pollution, extreme weather events and food insecurity etc.)

I visited the 'International Vaccine Institute'(IVI), created initially as an initiative of UNDP, now an fully operated independent non profit organization, to hear more information on climate change and infectious disease.

IVI's primary work is developing reachable vaccines to help out needed communities on the globe to prevent infectious disease. The guide person told me before the climate change problem becomes so big, they can assume controlling of infectious disease by vaccination to a certain amount. However, these days, extreme weather events make their work extremely difficult.

Climate change affects individual's daily life from small scale to big one tremendously. I never have second thoughts these days while I am categorizing food waste in great details while doing under razing sun. Save and take care of the earth.
