Climate change is widely recognised as the greatest threat to public health this century, but ‘climate change and health’ often refers to a narrow and limited focus on emissions , and the impacts of the climate crisis, rather than a holistic assessment of economic structures and systems of oppression. This tunnel vision misses key aspects of the climate change and health intersection, such as the enforcers of planetary destruction such as the mil…
Achieving climate justice, safeguarding planetary health
We are next generation leaders coming from the climate justice, medicine and public health, and planetary health movements, representing Most Affected People and Areas (MAPA), which are groups and territories disproportionately affected by the climate crisis -women, Indigenous Peoples, racialised people, LGBTQ+ people, young, and those facing social deprivation, and the Global South.

We emphasise needing t…
