The COP29 Special Report on Climate Change and Health outlines priority actions from the global health community for governments, policy-makers, and other sectors to place health at the heart of climate solutions. Developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) with over 100 organizations and 300 experts, this report emphasizes health as the definitive argument for climate action across people, place and planet. Fundamental to these actions is the urgent need to end fossil fuel reliance and ensure people-centred adaptation and resilience.
