We're all concerned about climate change, but when it looks like a problem for future generations, you ask yourself, 'will climate change even affect me?' No matter what you care about, climate change is already affecting our world today. While we still have time to limit the worst impact, here are ten great reasons to start acting now: 1. Because snow leopards, turtles and polar bears are awesome
Climate change will mean big changes for animals around the world. So if we care about incredible species, we must care about how climate change will make it harder for them to find food, and decrease their abitats - from forest to sea ice to the UK's rivers and chalk streams.
2. Because you need your morning coffee fix
If you're one of those people who need a coffee hit to get going, mornings may become grim. The effects of climate change on coffee are well-documented and coffee producers are already seeing reduced harvests, and more pests, because of it. Even if you're caffeine-free you're not in the clear - wine production may also be hit by climate change.
3. Because coral reefs are amazing
Finding Nemo or Dory may become harder as their beautiful homes crumble under the stress of climate change. Warmer air and ocean temperatures cause coral bleaching, where corals lose their colour and may die. Ocean acidification - from increased CO2 in the atmosphere - compounds the problem. Today, the ocean is 26% more acidic than it was in 1990, and the Great Barrier Reef has just experienced unprecedented back-to-back bleaching events in 2016 and 2017. Climate change is very bad news for anyone hoping to see the Great Barrier Reef one day.
4. Because we all need clean water
Did you know that 2 in every 3 people worldwide live in regions of severe water scarcity? Even a small increase in global temperatures will destabilise the water cycle and could make water scarcity much worse. Climate change affects rainfall patterns, meaning both drought and flooding will be more common, and more intense. And although it's hardly comparable with life-threatening floods, climate change may already be making you late for work.
5. Becausewe all hate the sight of politicians in wellies
Globally temperature records have been broken in recent years, and flooding in the UK gets worse. Year after year we've seen politicians wading through floods in Somerset, hopping into dinghies in Cornwall and arguing with each other in Westminster. More frequent and more intense extreme weather is a documented result of our greenhouse gas emissions, and the annual cost of flooding in the UK could increase 15-fold by the 2080s as a result of climate change. We need to see politicians taking serious action on climate change, not looking for the next photo opportunity.
6. Because rainforests are incredible
Unique, irreplaceable, and often described as 'the world's lungs', rainforests are some of the most precious habitats on the planet. They really are amazing; the Amazon, for example, is home to an astonishing 1 in 10 of all the known species on Earth. Yet over a third of the Amazon rainforest is already threatened by climate change. It's a double-edged sword too: worldwide, forest destruction - mainly for agriculture - is a major cause of climate change, generating an incredible amount of greenhouse gases.
7. Because we all deserve to breathe clean air
With anthropogenic climate change driven by human-caused emissions to the atmosphere, it stands to reason that we face compromised air quality. This affects human health, especially children. Air pollution can lead to asthma, heart and lung disease. Beijing's insidious smog is a visible reminder of this, but bad air quality is also making headlines in the UK, and has been labelled a 'public health emergency' by MPs. Just five days into 2017, streets in London had breached the annual air pollution limit.
8. Because clean tech is exciting
It's not all bad news. Some of the biggest advancements in technology over the past few years have come from trying to limit, and come up with alternatives to, humanity's CO2 dependency. Solar panels, wave-energy conversion and wind farms are allowing us to harness the power of nature in a clean way, harvesting energy without harming our environment or destroying habitats. Meanwhile nifty gadgets - like the Wall-E sized robot that can insulate your house to save energy - are helping to cut carbon in unexpected places. More of this technology could mean a cleaner, healthier future for us and our planet - because clean tech doesn't just help nature, it also has the potential to build better, more accessible and people-friendly cities.
9. Because we are all affected, no matter where in the world we live
Climate change won't just impact forest, or coral reefs, or even people in far-off countries - it will affect all of us. From more extreme weather to increasing food prices, to recreation and decreased opportunities to appreciate the natural world, people everywhere will feel the effects of climate change. Tackling climate change is fundamentally necessary to create a world where people and nature thrive - and that's why WWF is working on it.
10. Because of future generations
We are fortunate to live in a beautiful, diverse, nurturing, awe-inspiring planet. Our children, and all future generations, deserve the same.

If you're feeling worried by now, you're not alone. Millions of people are working together for our planet. Events like Earth Hour are a brilliant reminder that together, humanity is capable of great things, and we can make change happen for the right reasons.

Already, so much has changed since we first heard about the possible effect of climate change. Beginning with the Rio Earth Summit, then the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, action on a global scale is speeding up. Now it is more important than ever that we use our action, our votes and our voices to tell political and business leaders that action on climate is absolutely essential.

What can you do? You could start with taking our carbon footprint calculator, to look at how your lifestyle impacts the environment and where you can reduce your footprint.

At international, national and local levels, there is a drive to improve access for women to technology, information, science education and technical training and to strengthen the position of women scientists and technologists. Ensuring that women have equal access to science education and technology is an essential catalyst to ensure that the developers and users of weather, water and climate services provided by WMO and its Members serve the global community - men, women, boys, girls. This commitment strengthens the position of women as scientists, technologists and users of weather, water and climate services and fosters increased participation of women in weather and climate decision and policy-making.

The WMO Conference on the Gender Dimensions of Weather and Climate Services ( Conference Report) will offer a special side-event on empowering women - who represent less than one-third of professionals in meteorology and hydrology - to participate in the dynamic career opportunities available nationally and internationally in weather, climate and water sciences and policy.

Young girls are often discouraged to pursue science as a career and intimidated by perceived competition with males at every level of the educational and working spectrum of the scientific world. Women professionals can play a large role in encouraging young girls and women in pursuing an education in science, particularly meteorology and hydrology.

Can women be successful in science? The overwhelmingly positive experiences from the women interviewed below proves that they can. These women overcame obstacles to be the "first" women in many areas of their careers and to pave a way for others to follow.

The WMO Youth Corner also contains direct links to youth websites and materials created by Members. The two final rticles focus on efforts by WMO and its partners to fill the aps in observation systems in the polar regions to respond togrowing scientific understanding of the critical role these egions play in the global weather and climate system. A career in meteorology and hydrology can open the world to you.

Sue Barrell, Australia

Sue Barrell loved math and science when she was in school. When she started thinking about her career choices, "Meteorology seemed to combine all the things I valued - and they happened to advertised for trainee meteorologists just at the right time!" She went on to earn a Ph.D. in Astronomy from the Australian National University, a Bachelor of Science in Physics from the University of Canterbury (New Zealand), a Graduate Diploma in Meteorology from the Bureau of Meteorology and to become a Graduate member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

Dr Barrell is now the Vice-President of the WMO Commission for Basic Systems and Chair of the Inter-commission Coordination Group of the WMO Integrated Global Observing System (WIGOS). She served on the Australian Space Industry Innovation Council and is Australia's Principal Delegate to the Group on Earth Observations (GEO). She is a member of the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) Radiocommunications Consultative Committee and sits on the Steering Committee of the Australian National Telescope Facility. Over the years, she has served as acting Deputy Director, Information Systems and Services, Chief Information Officer and as Assistant Director, Observations and Engineering, at the Bureau of Meteorology of Australia. Despite her many responsibilities, she considers herself "very lucky to have worked doing the things I loved doing and with the challenge of learning something new every day."

Her biggest challenge has been "getting the right balance between work and my home life. But my family is usually good at reminding me of this!" Apart from her family, she regards winning a tiny slice of the IPCC's Nobel Peace prize and being elected as a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering in 2013 as her greatest achievements. In addition, "Becoming the first female meteorologist to win a senior executive role in the Bureau has helped me inspire others along the way."

Dr Barrell recommends a career in meteorology to young women as it offers many opportunities. "It can move you from different roles within the organization and can take you around the world."

Barbara Tapia, Chile

When living close to the border between the United States of America and Canada, Barbara Tapia experienced extreme weather conditions for the first time. Marked by the experience, Ms Tapia decided to embark on a career in meteorology, "I thought that I would be able to better understand the dynamics of the atmospheric conditions that I had experienced. It was the best decision!" She holds a Bachelor Degree in Meteorology and a Masters Degree in Management and Public Policy.

Ms Tapia, a Senior Meteorologist at the Chilean Meteorological Service, is currently stationed at the Pacific Regional Meteorological Centre on Easter Island. In 2014, she was elected Vice-President of the WMO Commission of Climatology (CCl). During her career, she led the Working Group on Climate Services for South America, coordinated the implementation processes of two WMO Regional Climate Centres in the South America region and carried out other climate related activities. In 2002, Ms. Tapia spent a year working for the WMO World Climate Programme.

Her work on climate issues has earned her recognition at the regional and international levels, she is very proud to be the first female representative from South America elected as Vice-President of CCl.

Ms Tapia claims that success came from perseverance and always wanting to accomplish "something more" than others. But it was not always easy. "Unfortunately, we women still need to go the extra mile to prove our abilities," observed Ms Tapia. "I would recommend that young women scientists remain open-minded, because there are several different areas in which to develop one's career in the meteorological field."

Sri Woro Budiati - Harijono, Indonesia

Dr Ir. Sri Woro B. Harijono was the first woman Director General of the Agency for Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics of Indonesia (BMKG). From 2010 to 2014, she was also the President of WMO Regional Association V (South West Pacific). Today, Dr Harijono is an advisor to the Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia on Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics. "There is nothing that can't be achieved, it is just a matter of deciding if you want to do it or not," asserts Dr Harijono.

Having obtained a doctoral degree in atmospheric sciences from the Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB), Dr Harijono started her career as a Coordinator of the Weather Modification Program at the Agency for Assessment and Application of Technology in 1985. "My responsibility required me to gain in depth understanding of cloud microphysics processes, which I thought very unique, yet fascinating." She remained in that post until 1999 when she became Deputy of the Research and Technology Program of the Ministry of Research and Technology. She left that position to become Deputy of Data from 2004 to 2005 in the agency that would be renamed BMKG.

She believes her greatest accomplishment was the development of the Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System and the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre. But BKMG also recognizes the important contributions she made to the creation of the Weather and Climate Warning Centre and the Division for Research and Development. She is proudest of her son and daughter, both are medical doctors.

To young women embarking a scientific career she recommends to "be a lifelong learner" but also "to balance your private life and your work."

Nadia Pinardi, Italy

Professor Nadia Pinardi is passionate about science and its usefulness for society, so her decision to have a career in physics and mathematics was logical. "I like to understand the laws of nature. Science is like artistic inspiration, providing a new vision of nature."

Today, Prof. Pinardi holds a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Harvard University and is an associate Professor of Oceanography at Bologna University. She directs the Operational Oceanography Group of the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia and is co-president of the Joint Committee for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM) of WMO/IOC-UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). Prof. Pinardi is a member of both the European Environment Agency Scientific Advisory Committee and the European Research Council for Earth Sciences, and was awarded the European Geophysical Union Fridtjof Nansen Medal for Oceanography in 2007 and the Roger Revelle Unesco Medal in 2008.

Prof. Pinardi claims the key to success is "hard work because even geniuses have to work hard. And luck because I was lucky to find people who cared about my education and gave me a research topic so visionary that I built an entire career on it."

She is proudest "to have started the field of ocean forecasting, down to the operational service design and implementation." Though she claims that to be her greatest achievement, she insists that her biggest challenge was "to reconcile private and working life - bringing-up a family and having a career in scientific research." Twisting the old saying to her personal experience she notes that, "Behind a great woman, there is always a caring man!"

Her recommendation for young women starting a career in Applied Physics is "to look for people and institutions that have the highest level of scientific achievements and that have a mission."

Federica Rossi, Italy

"If you do what you like it will be more interesting, and you will reach better results," says Federica Rossi to young female scientists. She followed her own advice. Fascinated by research, Federica earned a Ph.D. in Agricultural Science at the University of Bologna then dedicated her career to agriculture meteorology, a field she knew would have a big impact on people's lives.

"Being a researcher is a hard job, but you need to be a 360° person and not only a scientist," says Ms Rossi. The various areas in which she is active certainly prove that:

Senior Researcher at the Italian National Research Council, Institute of Biometeorology (IBIMET), leading the working team on Micrometeorology, Ecophysiology and Productivity of Natural and Agricultural Systems;

Representative of Italy in the International Society Horticultural Science;

Representatitve of Italy on the Management Committee of the Cost Action 734 "Impacts of Climate Change and Variability on European Agriculture" and of the Cost Action 18 "Meteorological Applications in Agriculture" (COST is one of the longest-running European frameworks supporting cooperation among scientists and researchers across Europe);

Member of the Editorial Board of the Italian Journal of Agrometeorology;

Web Editor and founding Member of the International Society of Agrometeorology;

Vice-Director of the Fabbrica del Futuro, a Project of the Italian Ministry of Education and Research to improve the competitiveness of the Italian industry and of products branded "Made in Italy" within the global context; and

Vice-President of WMO Commission for Agricultural Meteorology (CAgM) since 2010.

The hardest challenge for a researcher like her is "the huge amount of time to be spent in finding money" she says. However, she believes that success takes dedication and bit of fantasy. She encourages young people to "dedicate time to others and to support the people working with you." She urges them to keep a positive attitude and to work in teams. "Do not be afraid to fight for your ideas, but respect the ideas of others."

Vida Auguliene, Lithuania

"Meteorology is a rare profession - romantic and independent of political influence - which allows consistent and interesting work," claims Vida Auguliene. As Director of the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service (LHS), Permanent Representative of Lithuania to WMO since 2006 and Vice-President of WMO Regional Association VI (Europe) since 2011, she is well placed to strongly recommend her career choice to young women.

Ms Auguliene did her diploma studies at Vilnius University before holding various positions at the predecessor to the present-day LHS. In 1994, she became the Chief Specialist for Environmental Monitoring at the Environmental Protection Agency of the Ministry of Environment. She left that post in 2004 to become the Deputy Director of LHS. Ms Auguliene represents Lithuania at EUMETSAT (European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites), ECMWF (European Center for Medium range Weather Forecasting) and HIRLAM (High Resolution Limited Area Model). She has chaired the EUMETSAT Advisory Committee of Cooperating States since 2008. Over her career, she published several papers on ambient air quality as well as on meteorological issues, and coordinated various international and national projects and programmes.

She perceives her greatest achievements to be her contribution to the modernization of Lithuanian ydrometeorological infrastructure and services. Prior to modernization in 2005, only 43% of survey respondents thought weather forecasts were important. In 2009, after some remarkable improvements, the number increased to 70%, and in 2012 to 86%.

"If you love what you are doing, you will be successful," says Ms Auguliene. "Real leaders are shaped to overcome challenges, control stress, sweat and practice."

Agnes Kijazi, Tanzania

Dr Agnes Kijazi rose from the lowest ranks of National Meteorological Service in the United Republic of Tanzania, which she joined in 1987 as a meteorological assistant, to be the Director General. She is the first woman in the East African Region to hold such a post and to be elected to the WMO Executive Council.

A desire to further help her country to better cope with extreme weather events motivated Ms Kijazi to join the undergraduate program in Meteorology at the University of Nairobi in 1996. She completed her Bachelor of Science in 2000, and went on to do a Master's in Environmental Science at the University of Cape Town in 2004. She earned her Doctorate in Meteorology at the University of Cape Town in 2008.

Her career has brought her personal satisfaction, however, Dr Kijazi is most gratified to have paved a way for young women in science. "Unfortunately, women are discouraged from choosing scientific studies in Africa. They should not be. Instead, they should look at the women hat have succeeded in these fields and know they can make it too," urged Dr. Kijazi.

The key to success "is not only hard work, but also support from family and relatives" stated Dr. Kijazi who was married when she started her studies. "It turned out to be very important," she said smiling.

Laura Furgione, United States of America

"I grew up on a five-generation farm in Missouri, so I understood the importance of accurate weather information very early," explains Laura Furgione. "Weather impacts everyone and everything. There is no other field that has such a broad and diverse mission."

Ms Furgione obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Atmospheric Science from the University of Missouri- Columbia and a Master of Public Administration Degree from the University of Alaska-Southeast. "I found my options unlimited, there are so many geographical choices of employment. If you don't restrict yourselves geographically, the opportunities are endless."

Since 2010, Ms Furgione has been the Deputy Assistant Administrator for Weather Services and the Deputy Director of the National Weather Service (NWS), both part of the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In this role, she is responsible for the day-to-day civilian weather operations for the United States, its territories, adjacent waters and ocean areas. She was the proud recipient of two NOAA Administrator's Awards in 2011 - one for NOAA's Arctic Vision and Strategy and another for developing NOAA's Strategy Execution and Evaluation system. Ms Furgione was designated as the United States Permanent Representative to the WMO in March 2013.

Being passionate and curious about what one does is the key to success for Laura Furgione. "I always ask a lot of questions and get involved in as many activities as possible."

It's difficult to watch the damage done to the environment affecting human health and not feel spurred to change. But many people still fail to see the correlation between our actions and its effects on us, due to denial or simple unawareness of our relationship with the natural world.

Over time our natural bodies have grown accustomed to living in a natural, organic environment. It has only been in the last century or so that we've experimented with living in such an inorganic world.

When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world. - John Muir

Disease On The Rise

Although disease is by no means new (the first description of cancer was recorded in 1600 BC), the current rates of disease are increasing at alarming speeds and most are closely linked with known carcinogens that have become abundant in our environment in the last several decades (such as pesticides, artificial hormones, chemical cleaners, etc). The information below shows the conditions of the environment affecting human health in countless ways.

Some cancer rate statistics according to the Cancer Prevention Coalition:

Cancer incidence rates have risen an overall total of 60% from 1950-98, specifically:

Non-Hodgkins lymphoma has increased nearly 100%

Brain cancer up 80-90%

Breast cancer up 60%

Testicular cancer up 300%

Childhood cancers up 40-50%

1 in 2 American men and 1 in 3 American woman will develop cancer in their lives

Of the 1,400,000 Americans diagnosed with cancer, approximately 43% will not survive

Cancer rates are estimated to double by 2050

While cancer rates may be the most talked about, there are other more disturbing trends that all point to the environment affecting human health:

Asthma increased 75% between 1980-1994; 150% in children.¹ According to the EPA, this was also the timeframe when air pollution was increasing the most.

Type 1 diabetes rates have doubled since the 1980's²; Type 2 diabetes rates doubled between the 1970's and 1990's³

Autism cases have increased an alarming 56% between 2002 and 2006 alone.⁴

Approximately 50 million people are affected by autoimmune diseases, with an estimated one in nine women affected in their lifetime.⁵

Infertility rates are expected to increase over the coming decades.⁶

Birth defects affect approximately 150,000 newborns annually. Of the 70% of unknown causes, most experts believe environmental issues are to blame.⁷

Of 413 chemicals tested for, 287 were found in the umbilical cord blood of newborn babies.⁸

In one study, various breastmilk samples showed the presence of pesticides, herbicides, household and industrial cleaners and more.⁹

It's obvious something it going on with our bodies as our cells mutate, break down or attack themselves and more and more of our natural world is contaminated with pollutants or toxins. Likewise, science has repeatedly shown that it is in fact our impact on the environment affecting human health with numerous studies and an urgent call for more research, stricter health standards and a banning of dangerous substances.

Pregnancy, Birth Defects and Infants

Birth defects have been linked to pollution, herbicides, antibiotics, air pollution, agricultural chemicals, beauty products, plastics, dry cleaning, and household products and cleaners. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19

Male factor infertility has been linked to pesticides, air pollution, exposure to lead, water pollution, household flame retardants and surfactants (found in many soaps detergents, fabric softners, paint, certain waxes, shampoo, conditioners, toothpastes, and more). 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

Female factor infertility has been linked to household flame retardants, herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals, solvents, plastics, and industrial chemicals. 26, 27, 28, 29

Artificial infant formulas are linked to a higher rate of SIDS, Parkinsons' disease, and obesity, as well as diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure and heart disease. 30, 31, 32, 33

Human Illness and Disease

Childhood leukemia has been linked to electrical wiring, spray paint, dyes, household pesticides, and incense, as well as vehicle exhaust, insecticides, and nitrites, such as those found in processed meats. 34, 35, 36, 37, 38

Many cancers have been linked to pesticides, chemical cleaners, and plastics. 39, 40, 41

Breast cancer has been linked to underarm shaving and antiperspirant use, a decrease in the occurrence and duration of breastfeeding, synthetic hormones found in food production and pharmaceuticals, and various other environmental factors. 42, 43, 44, 45, 46

Autism has been linked to the pesticides in flea shampoo, agricultural pesticides, PCBs (found in adhesives, flame-retardants, inks, plastics, etc), solvents and mercury exposure. 47,48

Depression has been linked to processed foods, air pollution, and pesticide exposure. 49,50,51

Water pollution has been linked to gastrointestinal, skin, and respiratory illnesses, and E.Coli, Hepatitis and Polio, and other diseases. 52,53

Air pollution has been linked to heart failure, respiratory infection, asthma and allergies, and lung disease. 54,55,56

Processed and Factory Foods

Processed foods have been linked to food allergies, childhood obesity, and childhood leukemia. 57,58,59

Factory farming of cattle is less healthy, increases soil erosion and water pollution, decreases soil fertility, and increases the occurance of antibiotic-resistant bacteria 60,61,62,63 compared to grass-fed cattle, and is often the most cited case of the environment affecting human health.

The pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers used in modern farming have been shown to contribute to water, land and air pollution, childhood leukemia, various type of cancers, and infertility, just to name a few. 64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76

Industrial agriculture contributes to 34% of global greenhouse gas emissions each year. ⁷⁷

Transportation of food accounts for 11% of U.S. energy use and is responsible for 4% of global annual greenhouse gas emissions. 77,78

It's Our Responsibility

While all of this shows the environment affecting human health, it shows nothing of the secondary affects, such as loss of habitat decreasing our food availability, and decreased air and water quality.

What happens without clean drinking water, breathable air or an abundance of fertile soil?

It seems that our treatment of the environment is not only making us sick, it's also working toward making us extinct.

There is no question it's the environment affecting human health. The only question is what will we do about it?

This information about the environment affecting human health can be empowering or it can be fear-inducing. Knowledge and awareness are important, but the most important part is not what you know, it's what you do with what you know.

I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts. - John Locke
