Climate Change and Health
9
In 2015, in the run up to the Paris CPOP 21, the World Health Organisation Executive Board endorsed a new work plan on climate change and health. This includes : • Partnerships: to coordinate with partner agencies within the UN system, and ensure that health is properly represented in the climate change agenda. • Awareness raising: to provide and disseminate information on the threats that climate change presents to human health, and opportunities to promote health while cutting carbon emissions. • Science and evidence: to coordinate reviews of the scientific evidence on the links between climate change and health, and develop a global research agenda. • Support for implementation of the public health response to climate change: to assist countries to build capacity to reduce health vulnerability to climate change, and promote health while reducing carbon emissions.
Paris Agreement
10
At the Paris climate conference (COP21) in December 2015, 195 countries adopted the first ever universal, legally binding global climate deal, which sets an action plan to avoid dangerous consequences of climate change by limiting global warming to below 2° C. On 22 April 2016 the agreement will be deposited at the UN in NY and opened for signature for 1 year. The agreement is due to enter into force in 2020. The agreement will become legally binding if joined by at least 55 countries which together represent at least 55 percent of global greenhouse emissions.
