Por el bien de la salud dejar de financiar los combustibles fósiles

The Global Climate and Health Alliance argues that climate change is a critical health crisis causing millions of avoidable deaths. The organization calls for the complete phase-out of fossil fuels as a public health imperative and demands that wealthy nations fulfill the $100 billion global climate finance goal, with half dedicated to adaptation and increased investment in health systems. The statement emphasizes that health is both a prerequisite and a driver for climate resilience and economic productivity.

• Climate change is a direct health threat causing millions of avoidable deaths annually and reducing productivity due to extreme heat, yet governments have not fully recognized this threat or sufficiently integrated health into UNFCCC policy and monitoring despite IPCC warnings since 1990.
• The complete and just phase-out of fossil fuels is presented as a public health necessity to ensure cleaner air and protect against health damages caused by the extraction, transport, processing, and use of these fuels, aligning with the 2022 Lancet Countdown report.
• Wealthy nations must immediately meet the long-overdue $100 billion global climate finance target to support low-income countries, with 50% allocated to climate adaptation and a significant increase in funding for health programs and systems.
• The health sector contributes 4-5% of global emissions and is a priority for adaptation in many Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), meaning it can play a vital role in both mitigation and building climate-resilient healthcare systems.
• Governments are urged to establish a clear process for financing loss and damage in low-income countries, specifically covering health impacts on people and health systems, and to integrate health metrics into the Global Adaptation Goal and Global Stocktake.
