Still, the link between climate and health is just beginning to be recognized on the global policy level, said Neira, noting that a report on air pollution and health was presented for the first time only last year at the COP24 conference, the major gathering of UN member states on climate action.
Bado, uhusiano kati ya hali ya hewa na afya ndio unaanza kutambuliwa katika kiwango cha sera za kimataifa, alisema Neira, akibainisha kuwa ripoti kuhusu uchafuzi wa hewa na afya iliwasilishwa kwa mara ya kwanza mwaka jana tu katika mkutano wa COP24, mkutano mkuu wa Nchi wanachama wa Umoja wa Mataifa kuhusu hatua za hali ya hewa.
