"As global leaders gather in Dubai for COP28, health has finally landed firmly
on the climate change agenda, with the first “health day” at the annual UN
climate summit taking place yesterday (December 3).

Including health in discussions on climate change has never been more
important. Extreme weather threatens human health in a variety of ways, and
this intersection is only getting worse as extreme weather events become more
likely with climate change.

Two of us (Kathryn and Arthur) attended the health day. It represents a pivotal
moment for climate and health on the global stage – but there’s still much work
to do."

Cheers,
