Climate activist, Greta Thunberg says the deterioration of the natural environment and disease-pandemics go hand-in-hand, and says the way we interact with the natural environment today can, in future, greatly contribute to more aggressive pandemics spreading across the globe.

Thunberg participated in an online WHO-briefing this week and called on especially financially-able countries, to address the vaccine-inequity currently experienced around the world.

Thunberg yesterday pledged 100-thousand Euros to help make more Covid-19 vaccines available to healthcare-workers in third-world countries.
