The climate crisis is a health crisis.
Air pollution kills an estimated 7 million people every year, while climate change causes more extreme weather events, exacerbates malnutrition and fuels the spread of infectious diseases.
The same emissions that cause global warming are responsible for more than one-quarter of deaths from heart attack, stroke, lung cancer and chronic respiratory disease.
Leaders in both the public and private sectors must work together to clean up our air and mitigate the health impacts of climate change.
