recomendaciones de politicas de la comunidad sanitaria para la cop27
Summary
The health community has developed policy recommendations for COP27 to address the insufficient integration of health issues into UNFCCC policy and monitoring. The document argues that climate-sensitive health threats cause millions of avoidable deaths and productivity losses, while mitigation efforts in energy, transport, and agriculture provide significant health co-benefits. It highlights that the health sector contributes 4-5% of global emissions and is a priority for adaptation in many Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The text calls for urgent international financing to address health-related loss and damage and to build 'health resilience' as a foundation for economic productivity and overall climate resilience.
Key insights
- Despite IPCC warnings since 1990, health issues have not been sufficiently integrated into UNFCCC policy formulation and monitoring, while climate-sensitive health threats result in millions of avoidable deaths every year and significant productivity losses.
- Mitigation actions in energy, transport, and agriculture yield health co-benefits, including improved air quality, increased physical activity, reduced urban heat island effects, and better nutrition.
- The health sector is a frequent priority for adaptation in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and is responsible for 4-5% of global emissions, meaning it can contribute to global emission reduction efforts.
