nervous that my house will be destroyed,” she said.

Hi Colin,
We're looking forward to having you at the climate security roundtable on April 12th. I wanted to touch base with you to see if you're able to talk on climate change and health during the roundtable.
We have structured the draft agenda so that a range of participants can talk for 5 minutes on knowledge gaps that have security implications. One of these gaps is climate change, security and health, and it would be invaluable for you to share your insights on climate change and health with the group for 5 minutes.
Would this be something you would be able to do?
Cheers
Alix

Fig. 26.2. This conceptual diagram compares the likely burden of disease from the primary, secondary and tertiary effects of climate change with the time at which the effects are likely to be widely accepted as causally related by the general and even the scientific community. Two major European heatwaves since 2000 (France and Russia) killed over 100,000 people. Both extreme events are likely to have been contributed to by climate change. Secondary effects, such as changes to vector-borne diseases, probably have a lower burden of disease. There has been greater scientific resistance to their reality, but this is fading. Tertiary effects such as the contribution of anthropogenic climate change to the conflicts in Sudan and Syria are still regarded as speculative by most people, including most scientists. These events have
the potential to cause a burden of disease at least of an order of magnitude higher than the others. Waiting for complete consensus is to wait too long.
