How To Close the Women’s Health Gap and Unlock $400 Billion Annually for the Global Economy

Historically, women’s health has been chronically under-prioritized and under-invested. Glaring gaps in data availability, care delivery and efficacy of treatment have left millions suffering and many opportunities unrealized.

A new report and the accompanying metrics dashboard from the Women’s Health Impact Tracking Platform – a collaboration between the Global Alliance for Women’s Health at the World Economic Forum and the McKinsey Health Institute (MHI) – shows that nine health conditions account for 35% of women’s disease burden.

What Is Climate Change

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun’s activity or large volcanic eruptions. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.

Burning fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions that act like a blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun’s heat and raising temperatures.

The main greenhouse gases that are causing climate change include carbon dioxide and methane. These come from using gasoline for driving a car or coal for heating a building, for example. Clearing land and cutting down forests can also release carbon dioxide. Agriculture, oil and gas operations are major sources of methane emissions. Energy, industry, transport, buildings, agriculture and land use are among the main sectors causing greenhouse gases.
