Abstract

The editorial on climate change and biodiversity published in over 220 health journals in September had two main demands: keep global temperature increases below 1.5C above pre-industrial levels to avoid catastrophic damage to health; and accept that this can be achieved only by rich countries making bigger cuts in greenhouse gas emissions and transferring substantial resources to the countries most vulnerable the effects of climate change.Although the mantra of COP26 was “keep 1.5C alive," the pledges made by countries to reduce emissions are insufficient to keep the temperature rise to below 1.5C.
