The Arctic is warming four times faster than the global average, impacting ecology and increasing health threats like new zoonotic diseases that could spill over to humans.
As the Arctic warms, its environment degrades and human activities increase, new health threats are emerging that require a unified approach across disciplines to mitigate.
The next pandemic could come from the north; with 60% of emerging infectious diseases being zoonotic, habitat degradation in the Arctic raises concern for future health crises.
Emerging infectious diseases are closely linked with habitat degradation and biodiversity loss, meaning that attention to these factors in the Arctic is crucial for global health.
