The Council's Vision - Healthy People and a Healthy Planet

 

"The Climate and Health Council is an international organisation consisting of doctors, nurses and other health professionals who recognise the urgent need to address climate change to protect health. It works towards a world where the impacts of climate change on health are understood and tackled in a way that improves the public's well-being."

 

 

The Charter, signed by thousands of health professionals around the world, underscores our central message.

  

 

    

 

The Climate and Health Council Aims To:

1) Articulate and amplify the message of the need to address environmental and climate issues to protect health

2) Empower and connect health professionals to take action to reduce emissions at home and at work

3) Consolidate the international health voice calling for effective governmental and inter-governmental action to protect health from environmental degradation and climate change
