Abstract: The global population continues to grow, albeit at a slower pace than previously. In parallel with the increase of ageing populations there will be an increased incidence and prevalence in age-related neurological disorders including stroke, neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, for which there is no prospect of a cure in the immediate future. The changing climate, with global warming, is perhaps the biggest challenge now facing humanity. In a series of deeply researched papers, the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change has tracked the health profile of climate change: the 2022 report makes clear the grave risks to human health posed by climate change and the parlous state of readiness of global healthcare systems, compromised by multiple coincident global events. The Global Burden of Diseases Injuries and Risk Factors study was inaugurated in 1990 with funding from the World Bank.
