Pan-European Commission on Climate and Health: Call to Action

Overview

Today, we are faced by unprecedented societal and environmental pressures exacerbated by climate change. Even amid overlapping crises and shifting priorities, acting on climate and health cannot be sidelined. Without decisive action now, climate change will undermine health and other dimensions of societal progress. We call on national and local decision-makers to take forward climate action that delivers benefits for human health, prioritizing the most vulnerable to climate change and reducing health inequity across generations. This is a moment of both urgency and opportunity. Our recommendations are designed to help national, regional and local leaders deliver measurable health, social and economic gains while supporting emission reductions and building resilience for decades and generations to come.
