The thermometer shows 39 degrees in the area of Prasa-da-SS in San Paulo. Thermal waves, ancient microbes, toxic floods and aging dams: UNUP warns of the threats of the future Climate and environment Extreme heat is increasingly becoming a “new norm” in different corners of the planet – from China and India to Europe and the USA. Against this background, the UN program on the environment (UNEP) presented today the seventh edition of the report “Frontiers”, which emphasizes the risks of the health of the elderly associated with climate change. ~ 60 > In addition to hazardous waves of heat, the report warns of other anxious trends: the melting of glaciers can awaken ancient viruses, and floods can release toxic chemicals prohibited decades ago. 62 ~~ 60 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~The report is focused on emerging environmental threats and possible ways to overcome them. At one time, the first edition of this report in 2016 predicted an increase in the number of zoone diseases-a few years before the pandemia Covid-19. ~ 60 > “thermal waves are one of the most frequent and deadly consequences of climate change and a reduction in the ice cover,” said the Executive Director, the executive director said the Executive Director UNEP Inger Andersen. – We must be prepared for the risks that carry these phenomena, especially for the most vulnerable categories of the population, including the elderly. However, as the “Frontiers” report of 2025 shows, there are solutions that can help protect communities and restore ecosystems that were considered lost. ”~ 60 > 60 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~ 62Elderly people – especially in cities of countries with low and average income – make up an increasingly noticeable part of the population. According to estimates, mortality among the elderly due to heat since the 1990s increased by 85 percent. Their vulnerability is aggravated by chronic diseases, weakness, limited mobility, contaminated air and flooding of coastal regions where they often live. the authors of the report urge cities to make cities more green, resistant to climatic risks and convenient for people of all ages. This is possible through more competent urban planning, the development of early warning systems and the participation of the residents themselves in risk management. ~ 60 > at the beginning of this year the UN Human Rights Council adopted a resolution on the development of an international legally compulsory document on the rights of elderly people – this may become an important step to additional protection of those who suffer from the consequences of the consequences of the changes in the consequences of changes climate. “microbes-zombie”: ancient pathogens in warming conditions ~ 60 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~If global warming exceeds the mark of 2 degrees Celsius compared to the pre -industrial level, this can lead to a significant reduction in the cryosphere – that is, eternal permafrost, sea ice, snow cover and glaciers. About 670 million people live in cryospheric regions, and billions depend on water resources that originate in these zones of the planet. 60 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~In the conditions of ice melting, previously frozen microorganisms – viruses, bacteria and fungi can get into the environment. Some of them can be resistant to antibiotics, creating additional health threats. In order to slow down the melting of the cryosphere, the report recommends reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including black carbon from diesel transport, agricultural pallets and forest fires, as well as limit tourism in the regions vulnerable before changing the climate. It is also proposed to expand the scientific studies of the microbial biodiversity of the cryosphere, which may disappear irrevocably. floods are returned by prohibited chemicals ~ 60 > report also pays attention to another little -known, but alarming, but alarming, but alarming. The threat: due to floods, toxic substances prohibited decades ago may come to the surface. They accumulated in bottom deposits and can again get into the environment, including food chains. ~ 60 > among effective solutions – traditional hydraulic structures (dumps, drainage pools), modern drainage systems, regular monitoring of pollutants, as well as natural -oriented -oriented systems Approaches, for example, the concept of “spongy cities” that can absorb excess water. aging dams: hidden infrastructure threat ~ 60 > Another problem noted in the report – aging trips. Although the dams bring many benefits, they can also violate the ecosystems, harm local fishermen and indigenous peoples and jeopardize security if they become outdated and unsafe. In Europe and North America, the old dams are increasingly dismantling, restoring the natural course of the rivers. ~ 60 > authors of the report emphasize that this helps to restore biological diversity, improve environmental processes and complies with the leading principles of the UN to restore ecosystems. ~ 60 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~ 62
