The Lancet Countdown: Tracking Progress on Health and Climate Change
Description:
The The Lancet Countdown: Tracking Progress on Health and Climate Change works to ensure that health is at the centre of how governments understand and respond to climate change. Our work ranges from ensuring policymakers have access to high-quality evidence-based guidance, through to providing the health profession with the tools they need to improve public health.
