Critical actions for global health and climate following COP28
Researchers from the Monash Sustainable Development Institute, including Associate Professor Angie Bone and Associate Professor Zerina Lokmic-Tomkins, have published a research paper emphasising the role of the global health community in climate change decision-making and action. The paper highlights the outcomes of COP28, which integrated health into the climate change agenda, including a dedicated 'health' day and significant climate-health financing.
The research advocates for health to remain central in climate negotiations, with public health practitioners playing a critical role in policy advocacy and community resilience.
