Given the interconnectedness nature of climate change on health, and growing pandemics effecting the most vulnerable communities, there is no better time than now, to recognize “health as the human face of climate change”, and, crucially to set out clear targets to tackle these issues systematically and underscoring the imperative for collective action.

If you read one thing today, make it this open letter from a coalition of global health leaders convened by Foundation S, including our CEO, Anil Soni: https://bit.ly/3BhZ7yb
It underscores the urgent need to save over 14.5 million lives from climate change by 2050. Sounds like a no-brainer, right? So what’s the problem?
With a staggering $366 billion gap in climate adaptation funding – less than 5% allocated to health – we urgently need investment (a lot) and action (now). And, we seriously need to stop viewing health as a cost and start seeing it as an investment.
To everyone at #UNGA this week, let’s rally behind this collective call to action. Together, we can protect lives and build resilience for future generations.
The consequences of climate change are being felt now and cannot be ignored.
Members of our Collective MindS Health x Climate Council and other representatives from the global health community have come together to urge global leaders to prevent lives being lost to the climate crisis.
In a new open letter published in Fortune, the likes of David Miliband, CEO of the International Rescue Committee, and Anil Soni, CEO of the World Health Organization Foundation – warned that “we need immediate action to help those highly vulnerable to climate change to become more resilient – or we face dire consequences.”
It’s time for action. It’s time to adapt.

Thank you to members of the Foundation S's Collective Minds Climate & Health Council and to all the signatories of this open letter!
Climate change must become a priority for everyone—from individual citizens to global leaders.
We are all either already affected or will be in the near future. Without a major shift in mindset, thinking, and, most importantly, action, the impacts could arrive sooner than even the most alarming predictions.
Each day, people across the world are confronted with the consequences of climate change. In some regions, it's heavy rains, storms, and floods; in others, it's drought, famine, and widespread health crises.
Vulnerable populations bear the heaviest burden, often without the resources needed to adapt, recover, or access proper healthcare.
It's time to take a hard look at our future and consider the legacy we're leaving for the following generations. We need to awaken our sense of altruism and empathy, and work together—now more than ever—to drive global change.
Addressing climate change isn't just about saving the planet—it's about protecting public health and ensuring a safe, and livable world for everyone.
Together, we can reverse the dire projections!

By focussing on the health impacts of climate change, health professionals can play a vital role in framing the need for climate actions in a way that is more personally meaningful and less controversial for the public and policy makers.
