Climate Change and Health: Embedding Ethics Into Policy and Decision Making

Research output: Book/Report › Other report

Abstract

Climate change threatens the health of all species and the future of our planet. It requires urgent action if we are to limit the adverse effects being experienced around the world. This is, or at least should be, widely accepted, particularly amongst governments and policy makers with legal obligations to meet net zero targets and transition to more ‘climate-friendly’ ways of living. This report demonstrates that in developing policies and interventions to meet these goals, it is imperative to consider the intersections between climate and health, and to embed ethics from the outset.
