The report says: 'The global academic community is convinced that the danger of climate change is not that much about 1 or 2 degrees C of global warming; it is more connected to the fact that the weather in different world regions is becoming less sustainable and extreme weather events more common.'

“We must understand that damage caused by climate change is here and now rather than a problem in the distant future, in distant lands. There’s a lot at stake, including our health and even our lives,” said Igor Chestin, WWF-Russia CEO.

The report – ‘Russia and neighbouring countries: environmental, economic and social impacts of climate change’ – highlights key evidence linking climate change to failing health.
