| Abstract: |
Over 200 health journals have issued a joint statement calling on the United Nations, political leaders, and health professionals to recognize that climate change and biodiversity loss are interconnected crises that must be addressed together. The statement emphasizes that the world's response to these challenges has been inadequate, treating them as separate issues. The health impacts of these crises are significant and include disruptions to social and economic systems, shortages of land, shelter, food, and water, and the spread of infectious diseases. The health community must advocate for the restoration of biodiversity and the mitigation of climate change, and political leaders must recognize the threats to health and the potential benefits of addressing these crises. The statement concludes by urging the World Health Organization to declare the climate and nature crisis as a global health emergency. [Extracted from the article] |
