At COP30, we must act to stop fossil fuels destroying our health

The Global Climate and Health Alliance calls for COP30 to produce a commitment to phase out fossil fuels and prioritize health in climate action to prevent further health destruction and build resilient health systems.

• The author asserts that COP30 must result in a commitment to phase out fossil fuels and place health at the center of climate action to meet scientific and ethical demands.
• Achieving these goals is presented as a way to ensure resilient health systems, clean air for children, and a reduction in threats from pollution, heatwaves, and floods, though the opportunity to do so is diminishing.
