A greater focus on health is needed during the COP21 climate negotiations in Paris this December, according to a joint declaration by the French Public Health Association, the French Society of Environmental Health, and the French Medical Council. The Health and Environment Alliance, Healthy Energy Initiative’s partner in Europe, co-signed the declaration. Underlining the role of health professionals in the prevention of climate-related diseases, the signatories ask the French authorities preparing the climate negotiations to explicitly include health in the final negotiations and commitments of COP21.
