Achieving a healthy COP28

The Global Climate and Health Alliance, representing over 160 health organisations, calls on health ministers at COP28 to treat the climate and nature crisis as a health emergency. The alliance advocates for a full fossil fuel phase-out, a loss and damage fund that addresses health needs, increased climate finance, and the use of health as a key metric for climate action.

• The Global Climate and Health Alliance identifies the climate and nature crisis as a health emergency, noting that respiratory diseases are increasing and extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts, and floods are raising mortality rates.
• The alliance outlines four specific priorities for health ministers at COP28: the full phase-out of fossil fuels, a loss and damage fund serving community health needs, finance for climate action, and the adoption of health as a key metric for climate action.
• The document asserts that G20 countries bear a responsibility to lead the phase-out of fossil fuels due to their status as countries with some of the largest historic emissions.
