Para la salud de las personas y el planeta

The Global Climate and Health Alliance and its partners call for a total phase-out of fossil fuels, health-centered adaptation planning, and strategic climate financing to prevent catastrophic impacts on global health. The statement emphasizes a 'Health in All Policies' approach, arguing that the transition to renewable energy is a public health imperative that could save 3.6 million lives annually. It further advocates for the operationalization of the Loss and Damage Fund to address health losses, the promotion of sustainable plant-rich diets to prevent 11 million premature deaths, and the exclusion of fossil fuel industry influence from UNFCCC policy-making.

• The document argues that a total phase-out of fossil fuels and a transition to renewable energy is a public health imperative that could save 3.6 million lives per year.
• To limit warming to 1.5°C and protect people, emissions must be reduced by 43% by 2030 and 60% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels.
• The authors advocate for a 'Health in All Policies' (STP) approach, noting that most climate and health determinants exist outside the health sector itself.
• The statement calls for the Loss and Damage Fund to be flexible and accessible, specifically to quantify and respond to health-related losses, including non-economic and slow-onset losses.
• Climate financing should be shifted from fossil fuel subsidies to health; the document claims that universal health coverage could be achieved with approximately one-seventh of current global fossil fuel subsidies.
• Transitioning to sustainable, plant-rich diets and reducing food waste could prevent 11 million premature adult deaths annually from malnutrition and diet-related non-communicable diseases.
• The coalition requests that the UNFCCC Secretariat limit the influence of fossil fuel companies on policy-making, similar to the exclusion of the tobacco industry in the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
