Description
How does climate change affect health? Thanks to the incredible discoveries in medicine and technology, the average global human lifespan has more than doubled since 1900 and is now above 70 years. Over the same period, CO2 emissions exponentially increased, which raises questions about the link between healthcare and climate change.
In this episode, Kokou Agbo-Bloua embarks on an investigative journey, exploring the multifaceted dimensions of healthcare – from the complexities of the human body to the socioeconomic implications of healthcare systems worldwide.
The discussion covers a wide array of topics, including the impact of climate change on health, the rising healthcare costs driven by an aging population, and the disparities in healthcare access across different regions. Kokou explores the role of technology and AI in revolutionizing healthcare delivery and the potential for personalized medicine to transform patient outcomes.
Eventually, Kokou shrinks down to microbial levels to wander the human body, before challenging special guest ChatGPT, the popular AI-generating tool, to answer questions about longevity and immortality, humanity, climate change, and, of course, the role of AI in the health-care sector.
As we learn about the complexities of healthcare and sustainability, we are reminded of our collective responsibility to safeguard the health of our planet and future generations. With poignant quotes from Barack Obama and Robert Swan, the episode underscores the urgency of taking action today to address the challenges of tomorrow.
Join us on 2050 Investors as we unravel the intricacies of healthcare, sustainability, and global challenges, offering insights and perspectives to inspire meaningful change in the world.
