Description: We have just lived through the hottest days on Earth since records began, and worse is predicted. Given the stark reality of climate change, its impact on the development of gastrointestinal (GI) and liver disease is increasingly recognised. In this commentary, we aim to raise awareness of the links between climate change and GI and liver disease; some of these links are speculative and research is required to confirm causation. We also briefly introduce potential adaptation and mitigation strategies and what you can begin to do as a health professional.
