Climate change is taking a toll on our health! Extreme weather events are leading to deaths and injuries. They are also exposing us to new illnesses and worsening existing ones. 

If we fail to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°Celcius, there is a risk of approximately 
15,000 new viruses, bacteria and other pathogens emerging. Mosquitoes, which are carriers of diseases like malaria and dengue, are now spreading to new areas due to rising temperatures, increasing the spread of infectious diseases. So is there a way out? Can we adapt and stay protected? Host Kalpana Pathak gets all the answers from:

- Dr Jaya Shreedhar, consultant at the W.H.O 

- Dr Omesh Bharti, epidemiologist from Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, 

- Dr Chandrakant Lahariya, epidemiologist and public health specialist.
