“Last year, the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon expressed concern that the world’s commitment to mitigate climate change was insufficient. Indeed, in today’s Lancet, a Comment by Andy Haines and others provides a stark reminder of the likely adverse effects on human health should fossil fuel consumption and high population growth continue at their present levels. They call for the health community to take a longer term view, where actions that target climate change and health today will reduce the global burden of ill-health in the future.”
