Like father, like daughter: why Vanessa Kerry is demanding action on climate and health
The doctor and special envoy for the World Health Organization talks about the need to invest in human wellbeing, what she’s learned from her father, John Kerry, and whether she would ever consider running for president
Vanessa Kerry is on a mission. A critical care doctor, she founded – and runs – Seed Global Health, an organisation that trains medics working in poor countries. But now Kerry, 46, daughter of the US politician and former Secretary of State John Kerry, is broadening her reach to embrace a family concern which is urgent for the whole planet: the need to combat global heating which is spreading disease and hampering medical care.
For Kerry, who was recently named by the World Health Organization as its first director-general special envoy for climate change and health, the two issues are urgently interdependent. Nearly one in four deaths in the world are from preventable environmental causes, according to WHO figures. The climate crisis is expected to lead to 250,000 more deaths every year, from causes such as heat stress to the spread of vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue. Kerry has seen for herself what is happening in countries where Seed works.
“Malawi has been absolutely hammered by tropical storms in the last years with increased frequency, increased severity,” she says. “In fact, Cyclone Freddy passed over the country twice. What we’ve found is there has been a worsening effect of vector-borne diseases, the malaria season is worse, and the country just went through the longest and the largest cholera outbreak it’s seen in its history, where tens of thousands of people got sick and thousands died.”
