The document also examines the societal harms of the industry, including forced displacements, human rights violations, and political corruption. It concludes by advocating for a 'just transition' that prioritizes public health, eliminates fossil fuel subsidies, and holds polluters accountable through the 'polluter-pays' principle.

The report 'Do berço ao túmulo' (From Cradle to Grave) by the Global Climate and Health Alliance details how fossil fuels cause systemic health damage at every stage of their life cycle. It highlights the disproportionate burden on marginalized communities and the 'sacrifice zones' created by industrial pollution. The document argues that the current energy system creates a 'triple crisis' of environmental devastation, widespread human health impairment, and instability in health systems. It calls for a just transition that prioritizes public health, eliminates fossil fuel subsidies, and holds polluters accountable through the 'polluter pays' principle.

The report 'De la cuna a la tumba' (From Cradle to Grave) details how fossil fuel production and use cause systemic health damage across all human life stages, from fetal development to old age. It highlights the disproportionate burden on marginalized communities and indigenous peoples, who often live in 'sacrifice zones.' The document maps specific health risks associated with extraction, refining, transport, and combustion, while also addressing the social disruptions and human rights violations linked to the industry. It concludes with a set of policy recommendations to end fossil fuel exploration, eliminate subsidies, and internalize health costs under the 'polluter pays' principle to achieve a just energy transition.

The Global Climate and Health Alliance calls for a universal climate agreement that prioritizes health, urging governments to phase out coal and fossil fuel subsidies while integrating health impact assessments into national climate planning. The document highlights that tackling climate change is a major global health opportunity, with the potential to prevent millions of premature deaths through emissions reductions and the transition to renewable energy.

The document argues that integrating public health and equity into climate policy can broaden political support and save lives, estimating that low-carbon policies could avoid 1 million American deaths annually. It proposes a roadmap of legislative and agency actions, including banning natural gas expansion, transitioning to regenerative agriculture, and electrifying public transit, to align the U.S. with the Paris Agreement's 1.5C target. The brief emphasizes that health co-benefits could offset 10% to 41% of U.S. mitigation costs.

Climate change is projected to significantly increase health costs and mortality in Canada, with tropospheric ozone and heatwaves posing the most substantial financial and human burdens. The report highlights that these impacts will disproportionately affect vulnerable populations due to systemic inequalities like poverty and racism. It warns that Canada's health systems are currently under-prepared, with minimal federal funding dedicated to health adaptation since 2017. The document recommends a dual approach to adaptation: treating immediate symptoms (e.g., emergency alerts) and addressing root causes of vulnerability (e.g., food and water insecurity).

The document outlines how climate change acts as a public health threat in Canada, increasing healthcare costs and deaths. It highlights that vulnerability is driven by social determinants—exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity—and argues that governments must invest in both emergency response and the reduction of underlying social inequalities to mitigate these risks.

Climate change poses a significant threat to public health in Canada, with costs expected to increase as impacts intensify. Vulnerability is driven by social determinants—exposure, sensitivity, and capacity to adapt—meaning the impacts will not be felt equally across the population. Projected annual costs by the end of the century vary by emissions scenario, with heat-related productivity losses and deaths representing major financial burdens. Effective adaptation requires both treating immediate symptoms through emergency response and addressing root causes like economic inequity and food insecurity.

The report identifies ground-level ozone, heat waves, and Lyme disease as significant health threats in Canada, with ozone-related societal costs potentially reaching $250 billion per year by the end of the century. It emphasizes that climate change will exacerbate existing health inequities driven by poverty and racism, and warns that current federal funding for health adaptation is inadequate, representing only about 0.3 per cent of total federal climate change program funding.

The Canadian Climate Institute recommends that all levels of government implement health adaptation policies addressing both the symptoms and root causes of climate-related health threats. Key proposals include mapping policy levers within a national adaptation strategy, incorporating health resilience into government cost-benefit analyses, and investing in research on emerging and local health impacts, such as mental health and wildfire-related respiratory issues.

Health professionals are calling on the U.S. Congress to oppose a proposed "liability shield" for the fossil fuel industry, arguing that these companies should remain accountable for the significant public health costs and environmental damages caused by pollution and climate change.

The document details how rising temperatures and more frequent heat waves in the U.S. disproportionately affect children's health and development. It highlights physiological vulnerabilities, the impact of urban heat islands on marginalized communities, and provides guidance for caregivers to mitigate heat-related illnesses.

The report identifies 5,500 hazardous facilities along U.S. coasts at risk of 100-year coastal flooding by 2100 under a high-emissions scenario. It highlights a significant environmental justice gap, finding that poorer and marginalized communities are 15-41% more likely to live near these at-risk sites. The analysis emphasizes the danger of 'NaTech' disasters, where natural events trigger technological failures, leading to toxic contamination of floodwaters.

The document argues that climate change is the biggest health threat of the 21st century and that health professionals are uniquely positioned as trusted voices to build public support for climate action. It provides a framework for communicating these risks and benefits, emphasizing simple, human-centric messaging over technical jargon or alarmist language. The toolkit outlines specific health risks—such as air pollution, heatwaves, and food insecurity—and highlights the 'win-win' nature of climate solutions, noting that every dollar spent on reducing emissions saves approximately $2 in health costs.

The report identifies significant gaps in expertise, funding, and priority within the U.S. public health system regarding climate change. While most local health directors recognize climate change as a threat, few prioritize it in their departmental planning. The authors recommend a three-pronged approach: protecting public health through system efficacy, preventing dangers by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and enhancing health through 'win-win' policy alignment.

The report, produced by a consortium of medical societies, alerts the public and policymakers that climate change is already causing direct and indirect health harms across the United States. It identifies vulnerable populations, such as children and the elderly, and details how extreme heat, weather events, air pollution, and the spread of infectious diseases impact public health. The document advocates for the acceleration of a transition to clean renewable energy as the most critical action to protect health and provide immediate co-benefits like improved air and water quality.

The guide equips National Park Service (NPS) staff to communicate climate change by segmenting the American public into six audience types based on their beliefs and motivations. It provides tailored communication tips for each group—ranging from the 'Alarmed' to the 'Dismissive'—and details specific climate impacts across ten U.S. bioregions to help staff create place-based narratives.
