Climate change, environmental pollution and biodiversity loss affect people’s health and generate multi-billion-euro economic losses, as a briefing produced by HEAL Poland under the patronage of the Institute of Water Economy and Meteorology of the National Research Institute and the Polish Federation of Asthma, Allergy, and COPD Patients Associations highlights.
HEAL had a booth within the UNFCCC COP17 exhibit area for answering questions and disseminating health and climate material from a wide array of health groups at Durban.
One publication on feature was our ’Acting Now’ report on what stronger climate action would do for health, which was promoted through our new Informational Postcard that directed audiences to this joint report helps provide policy makers with important evidence on the health benefits of mitigating climate change.
