The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change has just launched its 10th anniversary report, highlighting the latest evidence on how climate change is affecting human health around the world.

I’m Prof Ollie Jay, and I lead the Lancet Countdown’s work on the health hazards, exposures and impacts of climate change. Our work looks at how climate change is affecting:

• Extreme heat and heat exposure
• Heat-related labour loss
• Wildfire exposure
• The transmission of infectious diseases
• Drought, extreme rainfall, and food security

… and what these mean for our health.

I’ll be here to answer your questions about the findings of our latest report, what the evidence tells us about the health risks of climate change, and what can be done to protect people and communities.

Please submit your questions and join me on November 3 2026, from 07:30–09:30 EST / 13:30–15:30 CET when I'll be answering them.
