The Lancet countdown on health and climate change
Published annually, the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change is an international, multidisciplinary collaboration, dedicated to monitoring the evolving health impact of climate change, and providing an independent assessment of the delivery of commitments made by governments worldwide under the Paris Agreement. All content on the Countdown site is either Open Access or has been made free to read with registration.
“Safeguarding people's health in climate policies will require the leadership, integrity, and commitment of the health community. With its science-driven approach, this community is uniquely positioned to ensure that decision makers are held accountable, and foster human-centred climate action that safeguards human health above all else. The ambitions of the Paris Agreement are still achievable, and a prosperous and healthy future still lies within reach. But the concerted efforts and commitments of health professionals, policy makers, corporations, and financial institutions will be needed to ensure the promise of health-centred climate action becomes a reality that delivers a thriving future for all.” - Lancet Climate Countdown 2023 Executive Summary
