The Lancet Countdown: los gobiernos deben acelerar los compromisos climáticos cinco veces vincular el clima y la respuesta de covid
Summary
The Global Climate and Health Alliance urges governments, particularly G20 nations, to increase climate commitments by three to five times to align with the Paris Agreement's 1.5-2°C goal. The Alliance argues that COVID-19 recovery spending must be integrated with climate strategies to maximize economic and health benefits, noting that G20 countries are responsible for 78% of global greenhouse gas emissions but lack commitments aligned with the 1.5°C target.
Key insights
- To maintain global warming within safe levels and meet Paris Agreement ambitions of limiting warming to 1.5-2 degrees Celsius, governments must increase their national climate commitments by three to five times immediately.
- G20 countries are responsible for 78% of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet none have submitted a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) aligned with the 1.5°C target required to protect human health.
- Ambitious climate action to limit warming to 1.5°C is projected to generate a global net benefit of 264-610 trillion dollars by 2100, excluding health-related benefits.
- Public spending for COVID-19 recovery should be directly aligned with national climate change strategies, as both are critical public health crises that health professionals are well-positioned to bridge.
- There is a global funding gap of 28.2 billion US dollars for COVID-19 supplies, healthcare personnel, and the equitable global production and distribution of vaccines.
