Re: Call for emergency action to limit global temperature increases, restore biodiversity, and protect health
Dear Editor,
Climate change has now turned into a crisis. Typically an acute-on--chronic problem, the exacerbation is now persistent and appears unending.
The impact of the Corona Pandemic, unabating and casting economy breaking effecs, on Global Health cannot be underestimated and should be expected to bring about a change in thought and approach to issues environmental. At the UN, rich nations should do more, and there should be equity - the vaccine global maldistribution is an example of what should not happen. The combined and collective effort on the part of two hundred world Health editors deserves appreciation, carrying as it does the importance of necessary emergency action. Optimism is a must, but this could be a major start.
