It is frankly terrifying that one third of Pakistan is underwater, China is experiencing its worst drought in record, as are the olive-producing regions of southern Spain, and we’re currently only at 1.2C of warming.

[UConn Global Health Symposium @UConnGloHS]

So many branching impacts from these devastating floods…Thinking about how we can help prevent such disasters in the future and help with health recovery now. #sustainablehealth #needmorethanprayers

[South Asia Index @SouthAsiaIndex]

- 1350 people killed
