Six Measures Could Save 1.6 Million Lives a Year, Says WHO

The UN agency's report, released days before the COP31 climate change conference kicks off, proposed heat-health warning systems and climate-resilient infrastructure for drinking water and sanitation. Improved hand hygiene, cleaner household energy sources and more efficient fossil fuel pricing were also on the list.
