A pleasure to be a part of this session. Thank you to @FHF_global for the Summit. So important to keep building momentum on health - the human face of climate change -- on the road to COP29.
Thank you, @JeniMiller, Executive Director at @GCHAlliance @SaludClima, for your insightful contributions on our 'Advocacy for COP29 and Beyond' panel today at #FHFSummit. 💡

Nurses on the front lines, responding to the impacts of climate change on their patients, are crucial to the conversation. Trusted by communities, and with vital insights to offer both patient care practice, and climate policy. Nice piece by @enviRN director!
Check out this great op-ed by ANHE's Executive Director Dr. Katie Huffling:
"In a world awash with misinformation about health and climate change, nurses are well-positioned to provide reliable, evidence-based information on both."

It is encouraging when world leaders speak out about this crucial matter.
The UKHACC lists disinvesting from fossil fuels and signing the fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty as one of the commitments for health organisations.

Strong words by SG. The health community endorses it.
“Keep it up. Don’t lose hope.
It’s We the Peoples vs. the polluters and the profiteers” #climate

Climate change is a health threats multiplier.
This #WorldEnvironmentDay, I echo @richardhorton1’s call to the whole health sector community to strongly advocate for keeping fossil fuels in the ground, and ensuring health is at the centre of #ClimateAction.
100% support this.
Also need to get fossil fuel interests out of climate negotiations and policy making.
And need to stop subsidizing the industry with public funds & picking up the tab for the cancer, asthma, strokes, heatwaves, etc. that their products cause.

Thank you @WHO @DrTedros @DrMariaNeira @richardhorton1 for hosting a strategic RT on #climatechange and #health to accelerate progress and advance countries implementation towards #COP29 and beyond. #CSOs look forward to support you and to collaborate with you to drive action.
After exciting adoption of #WHA77 Resolution on Climate & Health, looking forward to joining this strategic roundtable. Next steps to accelerate the growing momentum on #healthyclimate, & announcement expected about health program at COP29.
A pleasure to co-convene the WHO-Civil Society Working Group on Climate and Health at #WHA77. Thank you, @WHO, for your ongoing collaboration with CSOs. @GCHAlliance
Bravo and well-deserved, @courtghoward! A consistent leading voice the the path to a healthier, more sustainable, more nurturing world for us all.
👏GCHA's Vice Chair @courtghoward is part of “The Power List” of Canadians championing tackling climate change. macleans.ca/society/the-powe….
A well-deserved recognition. Congratulations Courtney!
So pleased to join you, @courtghoward and @LujainAlqodmani, to lay out next steps the health community can take to drive action on climate change & health - spot on synopsis, Courtney.
Thx @NEJM, for letting us share our thoughts.
To deliver a healthy response to #climatechange, the health sector must ✅raise our collective voice
✅harness the 10% of GWP we allocate
✅counter fossil fuelled policy influence Honoured to co-author this w @GCHAlliance ED @JeniMiller & @medwma Prez @LujainAlqodmani in @NEJM.
The health community achieved a lot at last year's UN climate negotiations. The outcomes of the talks also still fell short of action we need, to protect people's health.
Economist Impact gave me a chance to reflect on all this, and on where we go from here.
#COP28 was the first to have a dedicated health day, underscoring the recognition that the #climatecrisis is a #healthcrisis. @JeniMiller, executive director of the @GCHAlliance, explores the successes for health, and looks at where commitments fall short econimpact.co/do
Strong images indeed. And 99% (!!!) of the people of the world breathing unhealthy air. This is something we can change and must change.
Strong images, but real. Air pollution does the same to our lungs. 🫁 @science @MumsForLungs @CCACoalition @WHO @icareforlungs @EllaRobertaFdn
