Climate Change Is a Health Emergency: What MSF Sees on the Ground

MSF is often associated with conflict and sudden crises—but climate change is an emergency we are responding to every day. In many of the places where MSF works, environmental changes are already shaping how people live, what they eat, and how they access safe water. These disruptions have direct consequences for health, increasing the risk of malnutrition, disease, and preventable illness—especially for communities already facing hardship. This video highlights how climate change is becoming a growing driver of humanitarian and health needs across MSF’s operations.
