“…..publication of a specially prepared cluster of papers to be available for the UN Climate Conference in
Guest Editors Tord Kjellstrom and Rainer Sauerborn, together with leading experts in the field, address the direct and indirect impacts of global warming upon health and suggest policy strategies in Climate Change and Global Health: linking science with policy. Their message is that health impacts should be a central topic in the ongoing debate on climate policies. (Published 11 November 2009)
CONTENTS
Foreword - Maria Neira, World Health Organization
Invited Editorial
Health as a crucial driver for climate policy - Rainer Sauerborn, Tord Kjellstrom and Maria Nilsson
“…There are three strong reasons for the climate policy community to consider health impacts:
1) the impacts are large, increasing and inequitably distributed;
2) the majority of people everywhere are concerned about the protection of their own and their children’s health
and are hence prepared to support mitigation policies; and
3) certain mitigation policies have significant positive health ‘co-benefits’, and these should be quantified and promoted to support mitigation arguments…”
