A focus on #heat and health, and #decarbonisation of the health sector, are among the key implications of the latest MJA-Lancet Countdown report ☀️

There’s much confusion in the public discourse about effects of #humidity RELATIVE humidity is usually reported, but ABSOLUTE humidity determines #sweat #evaporation & thus #heat stress risk What’s the difference? See below. Pls excuse limited drawing skills! @HeatHealth_USYD

As #COP28 negotiations conclude, an agreement for countries to "transition away" from fossil fuels has been made. But it is not enough. On the cover, the 2023 @LancetCountdown report underscores the urgent need for action: buff.ly/4aj1RIG
Cover of The Lancet Dec 16, 2023 issue. Quote: “To truly protect health, climate negotiations must drive a rapid and sustained shift away from fossil fuels, accelerate mitigation, and increase support for health adaptation. Anything less would amount to healthwashing.”
