href=\"mailto:chris.zielinski@ukhealthalliance.org\">chris.zielinski@ukhealthalliance.org<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"p-1\">Joint action is essential for planetary and human health<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"p-2\">Over 200 health journals call on the United Nations, political leaders, and health professionals to recognise that climate change and biodiversity loss are one indivisible crisis and must be tackled together to preserve health and avoid catastrophe. This overall environmental crisis is now so severe as to be a global health emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"p-3\">The world is currently responding to the climate crisis and the nature crisis as if they were separate challenges. This is a dangerous mistake. The 28th UN Conference of the Parties (COP) on climate change is about to be held in Dubai while the 16th COP on biodiversity is due to be held in Turkey in 2024. The research communities that provide the evidence for the two COPs are unfortunately largely separate, but they were brought together for a workshop in 2020 when they concluded: \u201cOnly by considering climate and biodiversity as parts of the same complex problem \u2026 can solutions be developed that avoid maladaptation and maximize the beneficial outcomes.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/383\/bmj.p2355#ref-1\">1<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"p-4\">As the health world has recognised with the development of the concept of planetary health, the natural world is made up of one overall interdependent system. Damage to one subsystem can create feedback that damages another\u2014for example, drought, wildfires, floods, and the other effects of rising global temperatures destroy plant life and lead to soil erosion and so inhibit carbon storage, which means more global warming.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/383\/bmj.p2355#ref-2\">2<\/a>&nbsp;Climate change is set to overtake deforestation and other land use change as the primary driver of nature loss.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/383\/bmj.p2355#ref-3\">3<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"p-5\">Nature has a remarkable power to restore.

In addition to harming ocean life, deteriorating water quality continues to worsen water-borne disease spread and the seafood crisis. Further, rapid changes in land use and climbing temperatures are breeding the perfect conditions for more pathogens to make the deadly jump to humans, leading to worrisome new diseases and pandemics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many studies have shown that access to green spaces is crucial for healthier communities as they help filter air pollution, reduce temperatures, and provide opportunities for physical activity. Nature has a positive impact on mental health, while also reducing stress, loneliness and depression, but these benefits are under threat due to increasing urbanisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite official goals to conserve 30% of the world\u2019s land, coastal areas and oceans by 2030, many ecosystems are at the brink of their breaking points. Tipping over could lead to catastrophic harm to health, even if global warming is kept below a 1.5\u00b0C increase over pre-industrial levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, it is imperative that national climate plans be integrated with biodiversity goals. Health professionals, who command a ton of influence and trust in the public domain, have been urged to advocate for both restoring biodiversity and addressing climate change. Political leaders have also been called upon to recognisze the severe threats to health from this planetary crisis and the health benefits that can arise from taking action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The editors of these prestigious journals have also backed a petition calling for WHO to declare a global public health emergency in May 2024. This united effort underscores the urgency of recognising and addressing the intertwined climate and nature crisis as a global health emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The editorial can be accessed&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1136\/bmj.p2355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"573\" data-attachment-id=\"286069\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=286069\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/00Screenshot-2023-10-30-at-12.03.37-1.png?fit=1536%2C1218&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1536,1218\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"00Screenshot-2023-10-30-at-12.03.37-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/00Screenshot-2023-10-30-at-12.03.37-1.png?fit=723%2C573&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/00Screenshot-2023-10-30-at-12.03.37-1.png?resize=723%2C573&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-286069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/00Screenshot-2023-10-30-at-12.03.37-1.png?resize=1024%2C812&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/00Screenshot-2023-10-30-at-12.03.37-1.png?resize=300%2C238&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/00Screenshot-2023-10-30-at-12.03.37-1.png?resize=768%2C609&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/00Screenshot-2023-10-30-at-12.03.37-1.png?resize=1200%2C952&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/00Screenshot-2023-10-30-at-12.03.37-1.png?w=1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/00Screenshot-2023-10-30-at-12.03.37-1.png?w=1446&amp;ssl=1 1446w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/383\/bmj.p2355\">British Medical Journal: Published 25 October 2023:&nbsp;<\/a>Over 200 health journals call on the United Nations, political leaders, and health professionals to recognize that climate change and biodiversity loss are one indivisible crisis and must be tackled together to preserve health and avoid catastrophe.
