Bio-Distress

Includes re-merging diseases, massive pollution, bioweapons and extreme climate variability.

Real World Application

It’s harder to be healthy
It will be increasingly difficult—and expensive—for people to achieve good health. Developed economies are beset by chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Poor urban residents in the United States with marginal access to fresh foods, green spaces, and pollution-free environments will suffer disproportionately. More children will need access to ongoing medical care but in ways that don’t impact their ability to participate fully in school.
