The US endorses the UN Declaration on Climate and Health at COP28 in Dubai. So proud of the Biden Administration’s leadership on this threat to the future of our health and economy.

At the Global Climate and Health Alliance event tonight, Dr Maria Neira said: We did it! We got a Health Day at COP28, but it is just a beginning. Health must be a priority in negotiations. “We are not just negotiating carbon, we are negotiating lives”! Nations need to account for that in their plans!

Here’s the core of a growing Global Climate Health Alliance force doing the hard groundwork holding COP negotiators to account for the health impacts of their proposals & implementation. Thank u GCHA! “We are not only negotiating carbon, we are negotiating lives!!”Global Climate and Health Alliance

OK, it's not all what we were asking for at COP28, but for the 1st time, the resolution specifically mentions fossil fuels, & the need to transition away from them. So, progress in the words. Now to get climate "ambitions" into ACTIONS! ISEE Env Epi axios.com/2023/12/13/cop…

Looking forward to sharing how we can (and are already) making progress on climate change mitigation action via public health pathways. We CAN improve health AND bend the carbon curve at the same time! ISEE Env Epi American Thoracic Society (ATS) American Lung Association Global Climate and Health Alliance Dr Maria Neira Niel

Nice summary of our recent research documenting the dramatic local human health benefits of a coal plant closure in Pittsburgh, PA. CO2 emissions also fell.

Standards are tightened according to scientific evidence, from 15 to 9 ug/m3 in almost 30 years. Might seem slow, but it is a steady, sustained advance.

Biden Administration takes action towards a healthier US! Other countries will likely follow, leading to a healthier humanity and healthier planet because the sources of fine particle pollution and CO2 are often one and the same!
